Volunteer
Make a difference to the future generation in your community.
We’re looking for volunteers to help deliver Bikeability Scotland, the national cycle training programme for school children.
The programme is supported by a network of volunteer instructors, often parents, grandparents and members of the local community, across the length and breadth of Scotland. This is where you come in! You’ll teach children to ride confidently and safely – a life skill that will stay with them forever.
By becoming a volunteer you’ll:
- Receive free, SCQF-accredited training, in a fully risk-assessed environment
- Contribute in a fun and rewarding way to your local community
- Play your part in tackling climate change by helping more children and families to make more journeys by bike
