What it says it does
Lifecycles is a Louisiana nonprofit corporation whose mission is to build young men of character in a Christ-centered, bicycle-touring adventure experience. Lifecycles stands in the gap for underserved and at-risk teens by combining mentoring, spiritual development, and life skills development in the adventure of a bicycle touring experience. This unique combination introduces new environments, provides physical activity and an enjoyment of creation that can be sustained for decades. In addition, it opens teens to communication and learning during these crucial years of development and opportunity. In the Lifecycles experience, boys come under the mentorship of a group of men and women who will guide them to a fulfilling, contributing adulthood. Teens learn teamwork, leadership, followership, the value of their education, and practical life skills from money management to healthy living habits, finding and holding a job, and engaging others with respect, honesty, and dignity.

Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $16,256 spent. In 2024 Lifecycles provided services to 20 young men ages 11 to 17.

Our program addresses immediate needs like food insecurity and obesity, as well as societal issues like drug abuse and violence. Under the dedicated mentorship of Lifecycles volunteers, boys are guided through high school and encouraged to pursue higher education or career paths, aiming to empower them as proactive leaders in their communities, capable of effecting positive change.
