Volunteers Wanted
The new Coastal Trail Bike Patrol is looking for volunteers. Bike Patrollers work as trail ambassadors providing trail directional advice, equipment assistance, safety insights, bike safety programs, assistance with events, first-aid and CPR services, and serve as eyes and ears of the Rangers and other stakeholders on one of the country’s most scenic bike trails.
Members of the public are invited to join the National Ski Patrol’s growing bike patrol subset and take the bike patroller training program. Patrollers can set their own patroller shift hours and are asked to fulfill 48 hours or more of service per year. Current NSP members, whether patrollers, hosts or alumni, are also invited to join and log at least 30 hours of service. We are seeking those interested in both patrol leadership slots as well as bike patrollers.
NSP members current with either Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) or Outdoor First Care (OFC) can join as secondary members. Alumni, if their first aid has lapsed, who would like to rejoin in an active bike patrol role will need to take Outdoor First Care, as will new community candidate members.
Join the team and support our work. See you on the Coastal Trail!
