Wheels
for the World
- The Program
What
does it take to build a bike with the members of your team? If you’re
participating in Wheels for the World, it will require teamwork, effective
communication, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get
involved.
  Wheels for the World
combines physical and mental team challenges with the construction of a
working bicycle. No previous bike-building experience is needed and
everyone will find
Wheels for the World to be fun, engaging, and memorable.
Groups
create team names, compete to earn bicycle parts, and present marketing campaigns to promote their bikes.
Your team’s tools include collaboration, communication, planning,
resource allocation, creativity, a wrench, a screwdriver... and a lot of
heart.
But the
program doesn’t end there. At the end of the event, all bicycles are
donated to underserved children within your community – or the charity
of your choice. When possible, we bring the children to the program and
the donation becomes personal. This is truly a moment they will never
forget. Have you ever seen a child’s face light up as they receive their
first bike? With
Wheels for the World, you won’t have to imagine…and there won’t
be a dry eye in the house.
Program
length and complexity can be tailored to fit your needs. Plus, we can
conduct the event at a location of your choice. We’ll bring everything
needed to build the bikes…you bring the tissues.
Wheels for the World
allows you to build teamwork as you build bikes. If you remember your
first or favorite, bicycle... then you’ll understand why this program is
so impactful.

What Others Think of Our
Wheels for the World Team Building Program:
The facilitator was an
absolute pleasure to work with during both the planning stage and the
actual event. Everything went off without a hitch even though we threw
her a few curveballs along the way. Her enthusiasm, energy, flexibility,
and can-do attitude were greatly appreciated. I will certainly recommend
your services to others within and outside my firm and hope to be able
to work with you again myself sometime soon.
