Interested in being a volunteer spotter to work with a participant at an iCan Bike program in your area? The success of our program rests on the shoulders of service from fabulous volunteers. Without them, we would just be spinning our wheels!
Volunteers must be:
- at least age 15
- able to walk/lightly jog for 75 minutes with breaks
- able to attend a 15 minute spotter meeting immediately before the session (of the volunteer’s choice)
If you meet the above criteria, we would love to have your help in making a difference in someone’s life!
BTW- At least partial scholarships for are provided for 85% of the 40 children participating. The majority of participants, all with developmental disabilities, learned to independently ride a two wheeled bicycle. As a result of this achievement, they now exhibit more confidence in other aspects of their lives. More information: http://www.crimsoncenteroutreach.org/ican-bike.html.
