Vancouver Cycling Without Age Society (CWA Vancouver) Information Session Sign Up
Volunteer Information Sessions for CWA Vancouver
Thank you for your interest in CWA Vancouver. We are planning our 2023 ride season and the many opportunities to volunteer with us. All volunteers must be fully vaccinated with proof of vaccination and Criminal Record checks which are shared with our Partners (care homes etc.)
We suggest you sign up for an Information Session to learn about the many opportunities working with our program, the seniors, their families, and partner organizations. Our next information sessions will be in March and April 2023. Join us for a cup of coffee, learn about our CWA Vancouver program, and go for a ride in one of our trishaws. We meet in Leg-in-Boot square in False Creek at the Convivial Cafe and Bakery. Sign up and further details will be sent to you.
Additional Information Our Volunteer opportunities range from being a passenger companion for the seniors (going on rides sitting in the seat beside them and conversing), being a Pilot who rides the trishaw style bikes, maintaining the trishaws, promotions, grant writing, photography, and videographer.
Our volunteer program focuses on riding seniors for recreational rides in and around the Vancouver West End, Westside, Yaletown, Chinatown, False Creek areas. Our primary ride times are between 9 am - 4 pm 7 days a week based on the schedules of the long-term care homes we work with. There will be some special event rides for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and other holidays and community events.
It is part of the ride to create conversations and share what you are experiencing on the ride. Cycling experience, knowledge of Vancouver bike lanes, and cycling safety is required AND we prefer those with an interest in working with the elderly. Our passenger's average age is 75-100 years old, many use walkers and, many have dementia.
We are looking for a group of committed volunteers to build relationships with our long-term care partners, their residents, and their families.
Once you have signed up for one of the Information Sessions, a welcome email will be sent to you. We look forward to meeting you.
