Whether you want to help with morning skill sessions or sweeping afternoon rides, these are the qualifications we look for:

  • Positive & cheerful
  • People person
  • Ability to work with others
  • Flexibility in tasks
  • Intermediate to advanced riding abilities
  • Confidence on your bike

We suggest all of our volunteers to be local to the event location as there will be no accommodations provided by Ride Guide. Read more below.

We value our volunteers and do everything we can to make their time with us enjoyable and gratifying. We have three volunteer roles available:

Full-Day Assistant

  • Mornings - Assist with administrative and camp preparation activities, morning skill sessions or help set up lunch.
  • Afternoons - ride as a sweep for our instructors.

Non-Riding Assistant

You will assist with administration and camp preparation tasks, set up and take down lunch.

Afternoon Sweep

During the afternoon rides, you will serve as a sweep, assisting the coach in providing a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience for the participants.

Additional Notes

Availability

If we're running a two-day camp, we prefer to arrange volunteers for the entire event. If you're only available for one day at a weekend camp, please sign up for the role you'd like and let us know your availability. We'll notify you if a space for a one-day volunteer becomes available.

Accommodations

Volunteers in the camp are not provided with lodging. If you'd like to volunteer at an event that is not where you reside, we are happy to put you in touch with other local volunteers for possible accommodation options.
