Caminos Nativos
Pedalea con Conciencia
Pedaling toward stronger minds, stronger families, stronger community.
Supporting Colombian-led efforts that enable children to embrace their individual power and potential.
Pedalea con Conciencia.
Paola Arenas Duarte founded Caminos Nativos in Santander in 2017. PCC helped co-design and fully fund Pedalea con Conciencia, its mountain biking program in Cabrera. It currently serves 35 children.
PCC backs the Colombian leaders already doing the work. They knew their communities long before PCC arrived.
How PCC helps
PCC partners with Colombian-led organizations already doing the work on the ground. We help design and fund their programs. Then we support them as they grow. We don't run programs ourselves. We back the leaders who do.
