Ride for the Future

We’re thrilled to announce UNAGB’s inaugural partnership with Rodman for Kids as a charity partner for their annual Ride for Kids event! This collaboration offers an incredible opportunity for UNAGB to raise vital funds that support our youth education programs, empowering young people to tackle global challenges and develop as future leaders.

Through Ride for the Future, we’re inviting supporters to join us in making a difference, whether by cycling with us in person or completing your own challenge virtually.

What is Rodman for Kids?

Rodman for Kids brings nonprofits together to raise critical funds and increase visibility for organizations serving young people across Massachusetts. As a charity partner, UNAGB gains access to Rodman’s powerful platform and resources to help amplify the impact of our fundraising efforts.

What is the Ride for Kids?

The Ride for Kids serves as a convening & fundraising platform for Rodman’s Charity Partners, providing partners with an expense-free event where partners keep 100% of the funds they raise. Participants choose between a scenic 25- or 50-mile bike ride on Saturday, May 17, 2025, in Foxboro, MA, with a lively post-ride BBQ celebration, or they can participate virtually by designing their own challenge .

What is UNAGB’s Ride for the Future?

Ride for the Future is UNAGB’s new initiative in partnership with Rodman for Kids. Whether you join us in Foxboro on May 17th or participate virtually, 100% of donations will go directly back to UNAGB to support our Model the Future campaign and are fully tax-deductible. Your support helps provide opportunities for youth to participate in Model UN programs, fostering skills like public speaking, collaboration, and global awareness.
