Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering to pedal! We conduct a volunteer training session in the Spring. If you would like to be a part of our next training session please e-mail Barb Brown, healingrides@gmail.com. Before engaging in training, please be advised that you will need to commit to a 2 1/2 hour slot for each ride. This allows for our guests to get comfortably settled, an hour ride and plenty of conversation with their volunteer.

Friends and family are welcome to share in this special ride.

1. Be at least 21 years of age.

2. An online class, Safe Gatherings, is required which includes a background check.

3. Sign an original copy of the Healing Rides Waiver Agreement

4. Log a total of 6 hours of road time (as both a pedaler and passenger) with one of our trained volunteers. There will be a log book on location.  Prior to certification, no one may take out a passenger other than a trainer or another volunteer. Wheelchair bikes must travel in a group of at least 2 bikes. Single wheelchair bikes must be accompanied by a third person riding a bicycle who is certified.

5. Trainee should satisfactorily perform all skills and be tested after training is completed.

6. Submit 3 local references to Healing Rides, attention: Barb Brown, healingrides@gmail.com

Once all requirements are satisfactorily met, qualified volunteers will be listed on the Healing Rides Approved List of Volunteers.
