THE PEDAL PROMO MODEL
ONE CAMPAIGN. TWO KINDS OF IMPACT.
Businesses seek local visibility. The work behind that visibility can create a way into employment.
01
A BUSINESS REACHES OUT.
We discuss what they want to promote, where they hope to reach people, and what a campaign could involve.
02
THE CAMPAIGN TAKES SHAPE.
Design, printed material, possible routes, schedule, and safe operating needs are considered.
03
RIDERS PUT IT IN MOTION.
When placements are available, riders take mobile ads into the community and may share approved promotions.
04
WORK BUILDS EXPERIENCE.
Paid assignments can help participants practice reliability, communication, and practical job skills.
REAL-WORLD ADVERTISING + A FAIRER PATH TO WORK
MORE THAN A PAYCHECK
A GAP IN WORK IS NOT A GAP IN YOUR WORTH.
People return to work for many reasons. The aim is to offer a practical place to begin, build experience, and show what they can do.

WHERE IT BEGINS
ROOTED IN MODESTO. BUILT AROUND OPPORTUNITY.
Pedal Promo is a Help Is Hope initiative based in Modesto, California. Bicycle advertising campaigns and rider opportunities depend on the places where the program can operate safely and has active demand.
Help Is Hope's other resources and support pathways serve adults throughout California. If Pedal Promo is not available near you, you can still explore work and stability resources.
Local program availability is not the same as Help Is Hope's statewide service area.
GOOD QUESTIONS, CLEAR ANSWERS
BEFORE YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
No inflated promises. Just what you need to know.
DO I NEED A PERFECT WORK HISTORY TO ASK?
No. Pedal Promo is designed for adults facing employment barriers, including gaps in work and limited experience. Specific openings, physical requirements, safety standards, and any screening vary by role.
DOES PEDAL PROMO GUARANTEE A JOB?
No. Opportunities depend on staffing, current campaigns, operational capacity, and individual role requirements. You can explore other employment support through Hope Works.
CAN A BUSINESS CHOOSE A LOCATION OR ROUTE?
You can share the neighborhoods, events, and audiences you want to reach. Any proposed route or schedule must be reviewed for feasibility, safety, local rules, and availability.
WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO RIDE A BIKE?
That is okay. Pedal Promo is one possible pathway, not the only way forward. Visit My Work to explore other job and income resources.
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE PROGRAM?
Businesses can ask about advertising. Community members can explore volunteering or giving. Program needs and volunteer assignments depend on current operations.
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD
FIND YOUR LANE. KEEP MOVING.
Whether you need a chance, want local visibility, or have something to give, there is a next step.
