Our organization has been asked to come up with an MOA for a bike mechanics education program that we provide to at-risk youth and adults. One of the features of the program, is that we've been able to place at least one of the participants who was unemployed long term before the program in a job at a local bike shop. We also do an earn-a-bike with the participants.
It seems like a really good idea to have a boiler plate MOA that we could use when we do elementary school bike clubs (we've done two), and high school earn-a-bike and mechanics programs.
Does anyone have an MOA that you've used for similar programs? We don't want to be too rigid and scare partners away, or make it too difficult for ourselves to stick to them. But we also need to get an idea of what should be covered and how specific and binding an MOA needs to be.
Thanks in advance, Randi Direct email Randi@hjfw.org
Hi Randi,
We've not had a formally written agreement with organizations that we have done workshops for. Would love to know more about this if anyone sends you anything. Thanks,
Jane Halliday Falls City Community BikeWorks Louisville KY
