Good Cycles

Who we are

Our Mission

We are on a mission to create safe & meaningful jobs for Young People. Jobs that break barriers to employment, nurture our community, our planet and create good cycles of change.

We create jobs through innovation and demonstrate how social enterprise can play a pivotal role in a sustainable future.

Our Purpose

We create safe and inclusive job opportunities for Young People who have experienced barriers to employment. Young people who:

• Come from marginalised backgrounds and live in marginalised areas
• Have pre-existing long-term health conditions
• Are not already in employment, education or training
• Have been long-term unemployed

Our Youth Employment Program

Our Youth Employment Program uses a work-first approach, offering jobs to people aged 18-28 with real income and regular shifts alongside tailored coaching and support. 

Our ‘learn by doing’ approach is offered with personal choice and an inclusive workplace to deliver technical and transferable skills, enabling young people to see a brighter future for themselves and to be a key part of a workforce that is delivering positive change for their communities.

We create:

• Meaningful jobs with a range of pathways
• Green jobs of the future
• Jobs that nurture communities to be cleaner, safer, and healthier

Since 2013, Good Cycles has provided employment and training pathways to more than 750 Young People. 

What we do

It all started with a couple of bikes, but we didn’t stop there.
