2010 marks our 3rd year of Trips for Kids® Salt Lake City! TFK® is a mountain bike program for disadvantaged youth, rooted in Marin County, CA, with locations throughout the United States. We have a flock of hardtail mountain bikes and a truck with trailer to transport the bikes. This will be the second year I'll be heading up the Salt Lake Chapter of TFK®. As the primary volunteer, albeit paid through UCC Americorps, I'll need some help this coming mountain bike season. We currently need the following to expand and successfully carry out our rides program:
VOLUNTEERS - for planning, outreach, and ride leaders.
Planning - this entails helping me make decisions on the where, what, and how of our program.
Outreach - volunteer and organization outreach i.e. cold calling, e-mail, tableing and follow-up
- may also include tasks such as grant writing.
Ride Leaders - attend rides, unload/reload bikes, helmet fittings, mountain bike training, and
hang out w/ the youth!
Note: Dedicated (attending 3 scheduled rides) ride leaders will be given paid CPR/Frist Aid Training.
GROUPS - organizations for rides with transportation to the trailheads.
Organizations - can include non-profits, schools, after-school programs, youth groups, etc.
