Adventure Bike Club start and end dates are generally selected to line up with when school gets out for the summer and returns for the fall. We ask that volunteers commit to every week. Consistent volunteers lead to a better experience for everyone involved, especially the youth. We understand that work and/or vacations happen. We ask that all volunteers (and youth) adhere to our 80% attendance policy. If you are unsure that you can commit to volunteer for at least 80% of the rides, you might reconsider volunteering.

No experience is required. If you can ride a bike but you’re not a skilled mountain biker, we have a place for you. We’ll train you. And, we have basecamp volunteer opportunities, too. We need volunteers who are ready to show up and be role models for the kids.

906AT offers two paths: You can attend the Leading Adventure Summit or complete the online training (or do both). We offer an On The Bike Skills class at our Leading Adventure Summit, too.

We group by age, not skill. Adventure Bike Club is a space where kids can adventure together without an emphasis on who is the best, fastest, or the most skilled. They learn how to lift each other up and challenge themselves at the same time.

No. Experience dictates that both the youth and adult volunteers have a better experience when they are in separate groups.

In addition to a bike (or running shoes) and helmet, volunteers are also required to have their 2024 nameplate and 2024 volunteer shirt at each ride. Nameplates and shirts create a sense of unity and community. In addition, having an identifiable shirt and nameplate is a safety measure. We expect the same of the youth so you need to lead by example.

We only ask you to invest your time as a volunteer. Help us develop more confident, resilient, hard-working kids.
