Sidewalker- This job’s main focus is to help ensure riders’ safety during classes. These needs vary depending on the rider and may include providing physical support. Individuals need to be able to walk and possibly do some light jogging during the class (30 to 45 minutes). Many of our volunteers are able to commit to a weekly class, approximately 1 hour each week.
Masks are required in all indoor spaces and social distancing is required whenever possible.
