The Active Transportation Alliance is looking for individuals to serve as members of our “Volunteer Ambassadors Corps”. We are currently seeking individuals from the North, West and South suburban communities as well as within the city of Chicago. This is an exciting opportunities to participate in our work at a whole new level and is exclusively available to Active Trans. Members. Volunteer will receive special training to assist our education and membership efforts through three main activities:

1. Representing Active Trans at community events to better inform your neighbors about how to safely engage in active transportation and to provide information about us, our work and how they can become a member.
2. Serving as support staff for various Active Trans educational events including “bicycle rodeos”, bicycle and pedestrian safety events and Active Trans. events.
3. Conducting “Learn to Ride” events within your community, during which Volunteer Ambassadors will use a simple and proven method to teach children shed their training wheels (or better yet forgo them altogether) and master riding two wheels. That’s right, you will literally be teaching children how to ride a bike!!

Help spread the gospel of active transportation!
