Devoted Few Motorcycle Club donates $1,000 to YCSO Explorer Program

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Devoted Few Bike Club presented a $1,000 donation to the Yuma County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) Explorer Program during a meeting Monday night, helping support local youth involved in the program.

The Explorer Program is part of the Learning for Life career education initiative and is designed for young men and women ages 14 through 20.

The program gives participants opportunities to learn about careers in law enforcement, build leadership skills and participate in community service activities.

Officials say the donation will help the group purchase new uniforms for its members.

Members of the Devoted Few Motorcycle Club said supporting the Explorer Porgram was meaningful because many members of the club are current or former law enforcement officers.

"Our motorcycle club is basically a majority of law enforcement officers, either present or former," Mike Cadriel, the President of the Devoted Few MC, said. "So just having that tie together with what we're supporting and going back with the YCSO, really makes a difference especially for the younger kids."

The YCSO Explorer Programs partners with local law enforcement to give young people hands-on experience and mentorship opportunities while preparing them for future careers and community involvement.
