BikeRescue gives disadvantaged youth the chance to restore two old bicycles in a mentored workshop environment, allowing them to donate one to a local charity and keep the other.
The crowdfunding campaign is looking to raise $5000 to help them set up a mobile six-week workshop to keep at-risk youth away from the justice system.
Dismantle's Stacey Brooke Ward said the project would help more than 50 young people a year.
"Dismantle has been engaging with at-risk young people delivering the Bike Rescue program since 2010 and we have worked with over 250 young people, provided 7500 mentoring hours and recycled over 375 bicycles," she said.
