Bike Camp - Volunteers needed to motivate and to spot riders with developmental disabilities

Volunteers are needed for our week-long iCan Bike camp, March 16-20, that teaches kids and adults with disabilities how to ride conventional two-wheeled bicycles. Choose a session time at registration. The commitment for one session is about 90 minutes (15-minute training followed by a 75-minute riding session). The ideal volunteer is able to come to the same session all five days in order to have the most fun and to build a relationship with their rider.

Volunteer Duties:

Spotter: Volunteers must be at least 14 years old at the start of camp. They are responsible for the well-being of the rider, walking or running behind and to the side of the rider to prevent mishaps. They will also be a coach and motivator, providing encouragement to build confidence and success.

Motivator: Volunteers who are between the ages of 10–13. They cannot be the primary spotter but can be an uplifting presence and supportive energy for their rider.
