What is WORD?
WORD, World Off-road Riding Department, is a rad youth mountain bike charity (NZ Charity Number CC50833) based in Aotearoa. We run after school programmes and holiday camps for kids age 7-17 years old in the Wellington Region, Wānaka and Ōtautahi (new for 2023!). In 2013 WORD was founded by Ashley Peters with the mission to save the world one ride at a time!
Currently there are over 400 kids in our term programmes across 3 locations, 300 kids riding during the holidays, 60 Instructors and 35 Assistant Instructors in Aotearoa! NEW for 2023, we’re stoked to launch WORD in Ōtautahi in February.
Spreading the love of riding across Aotearoa! We are super keen to see WORD in other locations…if you are interested, get in touch with Ash on ash@word.org.nz to discuss it more, yay!
