Volunteer for the Bicycle Safety Education Program

Volunteer participation is key to the success of the bicycle safety education program. Help us reach out to children in your community by sharing your bicycle knowledge and enthusiasm! We offer trainings and volunteer orientation materials to get you up to speed. Join us as a:

• Bicycle mechanic – help repair, tune-ups and adjust our fleet. 

• Ride leader - work closely with BTA staff to guide small groups of students on community rides on the streets around their schools.  Volunteer shifts are two or three hours, either in the morning or the afternoon during the school day.  We need 3 or 4 volunteers per shift - so bring a friend! We’ll provide training and volunteer orientation materials.

Together we can teach children to ride safely and independently!
