According to their website, "The Crucible is a non-profit educational facility that fosters a collaboration of Arts, Industry and Community. Through training in the fine and industrial arts, The Crucible promotes creative expression, reuse of materials and innovative design while serving as an accessible arts venue for the general public."

But it's not fire that makes them the Feel Good Friday story today, it's their youth bike programs, "dedicated to promoting healthy social relationships, self-awareness, and skill building as well as nurturing young people that will grow to be healthy adults both physically and emotionally."

Last is the the "Youth Frame Alteration - Hyphy Bike". This is an advance workshop where the participants are taught fabrication skills (welding, grinding, torching) and get to customize a bike for themselves. There's a great article with more detail about this program from Oakland North which you can read about here.
If you're handy with bikes you can volunteer and if you're on Facebook, you can help them win a $25,000 grant from State Farm by by voting for them on their page.
And for those of you in the Bay Area with a bike, it's a beautiful day to get out for a ride!
