Student Volunteer Information

Now is the perfect time to start working on service hours, team building, and strengthen community relationships!
 
Please complete this form to report hours per individual student rider or coach. This form can be used to record up to 10 volunteer activities. Additional activities will need to be entered on a separate submission.  

As part of our team culture, we are committed to youth development thru community service!  Our culture is committed to building strong bodies, minds, and character in student-athletes by leading through service for individuals and teams.

As part of our commitment to service we will provide a race jersey for new athletes and a practice jersey for returning athletes who complete 15 hours of service before the 1st day of School for 2025.  Race Jersey value is about $60.00, and practice is $20.00.
 
 
To help us project the purchase of Jersey’s we are asking each athlete to complete 10 hours by the 1st practice. Our 1st practice will be July 7th,2025.  We will offer some trail days before the season to help your athlete achieve these goals they will be posted on BAND. Typically, weekday mornings over summer vacation, spring break, and on some weekends. 
 

Our team goal is to have each athlete achieve at least 15 hours by 1st day of School for 2025. 

For hours to count towards Team Trail Core hours and Team Jersey’s they must be cycling focused. Hours can be done through your team or through other organizations, such as OORC, CATA, BikeNWA, FAST, etc. 

Some good examples are: 
– Trail Work, trail cleaning, trail maintenance with the team
– Volunteering at Pedal it Forward or another cycling non-profit
– Church, community, or school cycling program doing something for the cycling community 
– Volunteering to help at a cycling event: Cross Championship, The Rule of Three, etc…

ABOUT TEEN TRAIL CORPS

The Teen Trail Corps advocacy framework is built around the four NICA Teen Trail Corps tenets developed to help student-athletes connect with local community efforts.
