National Youth Project Using Minibikes (NYPUM)

They are absolutely right Mike. A very worthy program.

From yesterday, to today. Our 50 year history of mentoring youth in pictures. Visit https://www.nypum.org for more!

On behalf of the team at NYPUM, we wish everyone here who's connected to, or follows us an amazing, success-filled new year. We're working to make 2021 a year better than the last. Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks to everyone at Comoto Family of Brands for this wonderful gesture of partnering! YOU ROCK.

We APPRECIATE the support!

Another blast from the past: Here's a collector's item. A bottle of Cooil Manx Pilsner lager that was made to mark Honda's 50th Anniversary back in 1998 and feature the Honda CBR900 RR-W Fireblade on the front. They were brewed in the Isle of Man as a commemorative edition commissioned by Honda Motorcycles and there can't be many left out there! This bottle here is over 20 years old now, and makes a great garage ornament for a Fireblade or Honda fan. Any fans out there?

Taking time out to say hi to a very small spectator.

California State Parks out during a ride to enhance kids' awareness. What a great partner they are. Yep, those are live snakes in there.

If you can get it over this one, you have a good chance of getting over most anything. It's technique and practice that builds confidence. Right?

Every one is a winner in NYPUM.

Given our National and Global situation with the coronavirus and the illness, COVID-19 it creates NYPUM has taken steps to do its part in helping to mitigate the spread of this virus and prepare our programs for uncertainty during this time. In March, we sent out a message to all programs letting them know that all locally, and nationally NYPUM hosted activities are postponed until further notice. With the many different state requirements and restrictions pertaining to g...roup gatherings, we feel it is in everyone’s best interest to postpone any currently scheduled NYPUM activities, training, and events. We have asked all programs to provide us with health and welfare updates. The prevailing response is that they are following State, Local and Agency guidelines until advised to do otherwise. Any photos being posted to our page of NYPUM activities were taken before February, or even earlier. We are committed to advising and help determine best next steps for NYPUM programs. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused but prefer to take the side of caution and responsibility in these extraordinary times.

Well, we want to welcome another, very committed organization into the NYPUM family. Atlanta Children's Foundation has always dedicated itself to the positive development of youth; not just in Atlanta but the whole state of Georgia. We are very excited to have them on board and look forward to the extraordinary work they can continue to do but with a little boost from NYPUM! Here's a "thank you" they sent us. Get's you pumped, doesn't it?

Here's a video segment about NYPUM's partnership with California State Parks' Off-Highway Vehicle Division. Enjoy and Go Out and Play!
