empowering children & youths to walk and bike

Urbanthinkers helps local authorities engage children and youths in the development of innovative ways to;

  1. increase physical activity, 
  2. reduce school traffic and 
  3. lower air pollution.

YOUTH ENGAGEMENT is a necessary catalyst to succeed in the three goals mentioned above. That is why we are in the business of training and supporting adult facilitators to better engage youth leaders in their community.

Since 1996, we've worked on student leader engagement, training and support in Canada, Australia, NZ and the USA.

Our award-winning strategies have proven successful in a variety of formats; from short-term events and activities -such as; Earth Day, IWALK to School Day, Youth Forums and Adult Facilitator Workshops- to ongoing programs -such as Safe Routes to School (SRTS), School Travel Planning (STP) and Bike Better.

We already know how to adapt our tools and strategies to suit the needs, conditions and character of your community.

Contact us now to find out why we are the right choice to help you
promote positive behavioral change in your community.


*youths is used as the plural for 'youth', as adults is the plural of 'adult'
