Matthew Vicknair has always believed in the power of service, devoting his time and energy to helping others. As an employee of Louisiana Blue and board treasurer for Front Yard Bikes, he volunteers and supports programs that give young people in Baton Rouge the tools and confidence to succeed. No matter the task, Matthew is quick to step in and offer his help wherever it’s needed most.

Matthew’s drive to volunteer comes from a deep belief that showing up for others can create meaningful change. That belief grew stronger after watching The Angel Award gala online, where the honorees’ stories inspired him to get even more involved. He first connected with Front Yard Bikes through a board service training and soon after joined its board, eager to support a mission that aligns with his passion for youth development and community growth.

Front Yard Bikes is more than a bike shop. It’s a place where young people learn responsibility, leadership and practical skills while building confidence and connection. Matthew not only helps guide the organization’s growth as treasurer but also volunteers his time to support events and mentor youth. His steady presence and hands-on support make him a trusted part of the team.

Matthew doesn’t look for recognition. He shows up ready to help, because he knows that’s how communities grow stronger. Through his work with Front Yard Bikes and beyond, he’s helping to build a brighter future for young people in his community.
