Lose The Training Wheels - Volunteers Needed!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The Autism Society of Ohio, GREATER AKRON is seeking
volunteers for its Lose The Training Wheels camp.  This is a 5-day camp that teaches individuals (8 years and up) with disabilities to ride a two-wheel conventional bicycle…without training wheels.

The camp will be held from July 30 to August 3 at the CopleyHigh School Auxiliary Gym and needs 80 volunteers to serve as spotters for 40 riders.  Volunteers walk/jog behind bikers to help spot and provide emotional and motivational support.  Volunteers can choose to work the entire week, or for one 75 minute session and must be at least 16 years of age with transportation.

Volunteers must also be able to attend a Volunteer Orientation & Training Session on Sunday, July 29, at 4pm at Copley High School.  This is a great opportunity to volunteer as a group, team or family who want to help change a life. Contact the Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron at (330) 940-1441 or LTTWAkron@gmail.com. Information is also on our website at ww.autismsocietygreaterakron.org
