The success of Bike MS depends on volunteers like you! Each volunteer's contribution, large or small, is critical to the success of our events. Volunteers provide key support to Bike MS all year, from serving on planning committees, calling past participants to providing safety for our riders and overall support at the event. We welcome volunteers with a wide range of talents and skills. There is only one requirement: a desire to end MS now!

When you join the Bike MS Volunteer Team, you become a part of Bike MS. Together we will provide support, raise money, have fun, and make a difference in the lives of people living with MS.

Groups and individuals of all ages and abilities are invited to volunteer. We are always looking for youth clubs, corporate, and service-oriented community groups to lend a hand before, during, and after our events.

All volunteers receive:

  1. Delicious meals and plenty of water
  2. Special volunteer T-shirt
  3. The satisfaction of supporting an important cause
  4. Plenty of high-fives!
