iCan Bike Camp - Volunteers needed
Ever wanted to help someone ride 2-wheel bike? Here's your chance.
Help act as a spotter to walk/jog/run alongside a rider as they are learning to ride a bike during a 75-minute session (with short breaks) for 5 days Monday through Friday. You will provide encouragement and physical support as needed. No prior experience with individuals with a disability is necessary. All volunteer spotters must be at least 16 years old. Please note that we ask you to commit to volunteering all five days during the camp for the session(s) you select. Riders bond with their assigned volunteers and rely on the same person to be there each day.
