Volunteers needed for GoByBike Week across Metro Vancouver
HUB Cycling is Metro Vancouver’s cycling organization working to make cycling safe and accessible for all ages and abilities. Go by Bike Week is a week-long event that encourages people to cycle more often. During the week, HUB runs Celebration Stations, high-energy pop-up stations across Metro Vancouver where the public can receive cycling resources, free snacks, and bike maintenance.
HUB is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help at our Celebration Stations. There are going to be approximately 30 Celebration Stations set up across Metro Vancouver.
Each Celebration Station is set up for 2 hours. Volunteer shifts start 45 minutes before the Celebration Stations starts and ends 30 minutes after, for a total volunteer shift of 3.25 hours.
It’s a great chance to gain experience and be part of an amazing team, while supporting Metro Vancouver’s growing cycling community!
Volunteer roles and duties can include the following:
- Set-up and take-down under the direction of Go By Bike Week Coordinators
- Encouraging people to register for the event if they haven’t already, log their trips, and enter to win prizes
- Cheering and inviting people to stop at the station for free bike checks and entry to win prizes
- Counting cyclists (passing by and stopping)
- Answering questions about cycling or forwarding people to resources
- Taking photos
Benefits of volunteering with HUB Cycling:
- Light snacks available for you at the stations
- Entries to win sweet prizes
- A HUB Cycling T-Shirt
- A chance to meet like-minded people and make a difference in the bike community
Volunteer Orientation: There will be a volunteer orientation held over Zoom on September 18, 6:00-7:00 PM.
