Project HERO Volunteer Ride Leaders are essential team members contributing to the daily and overall success of Project HERO (PH) operations across the U.S. Our PH Ride Leaders are on the front lines of the PH program: scheduling and leading rides and assisting the Project HERO Representatives at each location.
