Afternoon shifts will run from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM (Setup and Cleanup shifts are different; please see below). Orientation for all positions will be provided. Volunteers who sign up for both AM+PM shifts will be provided with a free lunch (a $10 gift card to a restaurant of choice - there is a 30 min lunch break in between shifts). Note: Families who volunteer will have $75 refunded per shift completed (up to a maximum of their total Rental Fee - $75 Seasonal, $150 Annual). You can have someone volunteer on your behalf! Please contact josh@youcanride2.ca ahead of time to let us know if you would like to choose this option. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we will not be able to offer food or snacks. Please bring your own bottle for water. Additionally, masks are required for all adults within the Impact Center and we will supply hand sanitizer. Please complete the Covid-19 Prescreening Questionnaire (link in your volunteer confirmation email) on the same day of your shift to ensure you do not have any symptoms. We really appreciate your help and look forward to seeing you soon! Thanks, The You Can Ride 2 Team
