Western Municipal Water District brought 190 employees together for a Creating a Team Culture and Build-A-Bike® combo event in Riverside, California. Many participants were meeting their coworkers in person for the very first time. The day was designed to give the group both the tools and the experience they needed to work better together. By the end of the program, teams had assembled bicycles donated to the Boys and Girls Club Perris Clubhouse.

WMWD Brings 190 Employees Together for Team Building Combo Event in Riverside, California
Starting a day with 190 people presents a specific kind of challenge. Many of them had never all been in the same room before. The Creating a Team Culture portion of the program was built to meet that challenge directly. Participants worked through activities and discussions that helped them understand how their teammates communicate, make decisions, and approach their work. For a group spread across different departments and locations, that kind of shared context changes everything about how people show up for each other.
After the workshop wrapped up, the group moved straight into the Build-A-Bike® activity, and the energy shifted immediately. Teams that had just spent the morning building a communication foundation now had to put it to use in real time. The enthusiasm in the room was exactly what you want to see with a group this size. Throughout the afternoon, the teamwork the group built in the workshop showed up on the floor. Teams moved faster, communicated more clearly, and had a noticeably better time because of it.
At the close of the program, the completed bicycles went to the Boys and Girls Club Perris Clubhouse in Perris, California. The Boys & Girls Club provides youth in Riverside County with a safe space, academic support, and character development programs. Their mission is to help young people thrive. The charity team was organized and welcoming throughout. It made for a fitting and meaningful way to close out the day.
We appreciate Western Municipal Water District for designing a full-day experience that combined real team development with genuine community impact. We’d also like to thank the Boys and Girls Club Perris Clubhouse for their partnership. They do tremendous work for young people throughout the region.
