I Bike Schools Volunteer East Dunbartonshire

• Sustrans Scotland

• VO100926

Are you passionate about cycling and walking? Could you inspire young people to cycle or walk more? Volunteer with I Bike! You don't need to be a cyclist, we have a range of outdoor activities to help out with.

I Bike is a really fun and rewarding project to volunteer with that offers plenty of opportunities to get outdoors for cycling-related activities, boost the CV, gain experience of work with children and young people, meet new people and learn new skills.

Good training and support is provided to all volunteers including an online Welcome Session, Child Protection Training, Cycling Skills and Bike Repairs. For most activities you don't have to own a bike to join in - bikes and helmets can be provided depending on availability.

I Bike aims to help children and young people become more active through taking part in cycling and walking activities. You would be volunteering alongside a dedicated I Bike Officer in schools, supporting activities for children such as learn to cycle, playground cycle skills, led bike rides, led walks, bike maintenance and much more! What could be better than helping children to ride their bike without stabilisers for the first time?

We advocate for volunteering for all - please talk to us if you have any accessibility requirements or other specific requirements.

Experience required

Anyone who enjoys being active and would like to pass this on to young people. You don’t need experience, just enthusiasm!

We cover travel expenses; this includes bus and train travel and bike and car mileage. We encourage volunteers to travel sustainably whenever possible. We also offer to cover the cost of lunch if the volunteer is at school for the whole day.
