iCanShine

iCanShine iCan Shine is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides unique learning opportunities in recreational activities for people with disabilities.

Each person's abilities are embraced and nurtured to foster an environment where everyone can shine! iCan Shine is an international charitable nonprofit organization. We collaborate with local organizations and individuals, we refer to as our program 'hosts', to conduct over 100 five-day iCan Bike programs in 32 States and 4 Provinces in Canada serving nearly 3,000 people with disabilities each year. Our organization began in 2007 (under our former name Lose The Training Wheels) and, since then, we have successfully taught approximately 20,000 people with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle. The impact of learning to ride a bicycle independently, and our high level of success in helping people with disabilities accomplish this feat, continues to drive demand for our iCan Bike program. Approximately 80% of the people who participate in our iCan Bike program ride a two-wheel bicycle independently (at least 75 feet with no assistance) by the end of our five-day program while attending for only 75 minutes each day! The remaining 20% make tremendous progress towards this goal and leave our programs accompanied by parents and/or siblings trained as 'spotters' to pick up where we leave off! We continue expanding our flagship iCan Bike program throughout North America and have also recently introduced two new programs, iCan Swim and iCan Dance.

Our iCan Bike camp in Sacramento, CA is looking for volunteers! If you know anyone who may be interested, please help us spread the word! We are so thankful for the hard work of our amazing volunteers! ☀️

💛 THANKFUL THURSDAY 💛

We are beyond grateful to bring the iCan Shine Bike Program back to Sacramento! 🚲✨

This life-changing program teaches individuals with disabilities how to ride a two-wheel bike — often in just one week. But it’s about so much more than riding a bike. It’s about confidence. Independence. Freedom. Pride.

Watching a rider pedal independently for the very first time? There are no words. It’s pure joy. 💙

And here’s the beautiful part — it takes a community to make it happen.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to run alongside riders, encourage them, and be part of those unforgettable breakthrough moments. You don’t need special skills — just a willing heart and some energy!

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something truly meaningful, this is it.

👉 Sign up to volunteer and help us change lives — one ride at a time.
