Minor Volunteers
Volunteers aged 13 to 18, who are not accompanied by a parent or legal guardian are required to complete and return a Minor Consent Form to [email protected]. Alternatively, please bring a signed waiver form to the Event Lead the day of the event. Volunteers under the age of 13 must also be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to volunteer.
Parents/Guardians, if your child is coming with you to volunteer, the expectation is that they can be independent and contribute to the bike parking operations without your need to supervise them the entire time. You will be working together but must be able to leave them unattended at times. If you are unsure if this is an age appropriate volunteer activity for your child, please do not hesitate to contact [email protected].
