Job Description

Overview March - July. Mondays and Thursdays 5 pm to 8:30 pm and on Saturdays 8 am to 1 pm. Attend 50% of training rides each month. The Dream Team uses the power of a bicycle to help youth develop a positive approach to life's challenges. We serve 50 youth who have been referred to our team through a professional - therapist, counselor, JCO, etc. Our mentors are committed to helping youth riders by offering guidance, providing assistance, and sharing life experiences. Volunteers are dynamic role models who are dedicated to helping our youth riders and play a crucial role in empowering teens to become healthy and confident adults. Several volunteer opportunities are available, each with their own set of responsibilities and time commitments. Responsibilities and Opportunities Riding Mentor: Adult riding mentors are expected to attend at least 50% of all indoor and outdoor training practices and at least one campout. Riding mentors are also encouraged to participate in RAGBRAI, if possible. Successful mentors work with the youth riders to help them complete the program and grow as young adults. In-Season Support Mentor: Adult in-season support mentors assist with rest stops during outdoor training and campouts. While support volunteers might not be riding next to youth riders on the road, they are still asked to serve as positive role models and mentors. Truck Driver Mentor: Assist Dream Team with driving a Ryder truck to campouts and during the week of RAGBRAI. Critical role in supporting the team and keeping the youth engaged while at camp. General: Interested in helping, but not sure where you fit in right now? No worries, join as a general volunteer and we\'ll keep you updated on upcoming opportunities! Details Volunteers should be between the ages of 21 and 80. Inclement Weather Plan: We ride bikes in all sorts of weather but if there is severe weather or its too cold, we cancel the training ride. #J-18808-Ljbffr
