Dismantle's mission is to empower WA’s vulnerable young people to overcome socio-inherited hurdles in their critical years, minimising the risk of long-term unemployment and providing fundamental skills and supports that lay the foundations for personal growth, independence and long-term success. Some of our programs and initiatives are BikeRescue, BikeRescue Local, ReNew Property Maintenance and BikeDr.
To help us continue with our initiatives, we are looking for an additional member to join our BikeRescue Team.
What is BikeRescue?
BikeRescue is a dynamic youth development program that uses hands-on skill-building to engage and mentor young people in need of support. BikeRescue builds knowledge, social skills, confidence and teamwork through various mechanical and mentoring activities.
During BikeRescue, participants fully strip and rebuild two bikes each. The first is donated to charity, which earns them the second to customise and keep for themselves.
During each session, BikeRescue mentors work alongside participants while exploring their mental health, hobbies, passions, and vocational aspirations. We help them identify their barriers, figure out how to tackle their challenges, and provide support to reach their potential.
