Jeanice Lee talks with Rhona Mahl, Executive Director of Braking Cycles, serving Oregon and Washington, providing housing, mentorship, and job training to at risk and homeless youth. Mahl discusses the organization’s holistic programs, including long term housing, outreach, job apprenticeships, mentoring, and the Braking Cycles Coffee and Bike Shop. Mahl also shares the mission of building consistent, loving relationships that lead youth toward stability and self-sufficiency rather than dependency. She outlines future plans to expand hands on job opportunities that build confidence and life skills. From teen moms’ homes to ranch based apprenticeships, Breaking Cycles creates “lion and bear” moments that prepare youth for lasting independence. (BrakingCyclesNW.org)
