With support from the California Arts Council, Pedal Press will expand its art-based youth programs in Butte County, focusing on justice-involved youth, particularly from Chico, Oroville, and Paradise. CAC funds will support a re-entry program in partnership with Butte County probation. Programming integrates social-emotional learning, case management, and career and technical education through screenprinting. Youth will gain hands-on skills, income, and leadership opportunities while addressing social determinants of health like economic stability, education, and community connection. Funds will also support staffing, outreach, and evaluation to measure impact and improve program delivery.
Our organization offers accessible and affordable printing services to our community.
We do educational workshops for youth and the community to teach screen printing and other forms of printmaking.
We offer live printing services for local social justice causes and events utilizing our Pedal Press bikes that allow people to print their own t-shirts.
