Clipped In for Life is hiring seasonal coaches for our summer Get Rollin’ Learn-to-Ride and Summer Ride Camp programs. If you’re passionate about cycling and want to share its meaningful, lasting impact with youth in our region, these opportunities are for you!
Get Rollin’ Learn-to-Ride
These classes teach kids to stride, then ride! These classes are designed for kids with no experience on a bike, balance bike experience, or kids who ride only with training wheels. Kids can learn to stride and then pedal, gain more confidence, learn basic traffic safety skills, and even progress to riding on the dirt! Classes focus on fun learning with skill building and social games on the bike that share the joy of riding with friends.
Sessions are held M-F from 9-11 am, June-July. Coaches are needed at minimum from 8:30 AM-11:30 AM, with a potential for more hours if you have flexibility in your schedule.
Summer Ride Camps (funded by the Youth Communities Access Grant)
Summer Ride Camps is an all-day, full week summer camp in Folsom that empowers underserved youth to discover how bicycles are a tool for physical health, mental health, and an instrument to connect them with nature and their community. Funding provided by the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64) for the Youth Communities Access Grant Program.
Each participant will be given a bicycle, helmet, lock, and repair tools at the beginning of the week. Daily curriculum will include life skills such as bike handling skills, bike repair skills, traffic safety, trail etiquette, nutrition, first aid, navigation skills, and more. Daily field trips using the adjacent bike trails will allow youth to ride their bikes to cultural and natural resources.
Camps are held M-F 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, June-July. Coaches are needed 8 hours per day.
