Overview

Mission

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.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2024 Lifecycles provided services to 20 young men ages 11 to 17. Our program met three times per week in local community parks and trailheads to do discipling, cycling, and fellowship over shared meals together. 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.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
