About iCan Shine
iCan Shine is a non-profit organization that teaches individuals with a disability to ride a conventional two-wheel bicycle through its iCan Bike program, using adapted equipment, trained professionals and volunteer spotters. With 75 minutes of instruction over five days, over 80% of riders learn to ride a conventional bicycle independently by the end of camp.
40 Volunteers Needed
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! Two volunteer “spotters” are needed per rider. Spotters work with the same rider for each of the 5 days and experience the thrill of giving the gift of riding a bike!
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old; be able to attend 90 minutes at the same time each of the 5 days of camp (15 minutes of training/daily briefing, 75 minute session); be able to provide physical, emotional and motivational support to assigned rider and be able and willing to get some exercise (light jogging/running) for a great cause!

- Session 3: 11:40 AM-12:55 PM
