Get Involved; Volunteer

As a non-profit organization, BikeTexas is dependent upon members who believe in our mission and are willing to help us accomplish our goals. Whether you have 30 minutes, one hour a week or all the time in the world, we always welcome volunteers. If you have the desire and time, just let us know and we'll put you to work.

BIKETEXAS KIDS KUP
Support young cyclists as they participate in these mountain bike races. We are looking for help with the trail-education programs, and oversee the operation. BikeTexas Kids Kup races are held on Saturdays in conjunction with Texas Mountain Bike Racing Association (TMBRA) events.

ADVOCATES
Help BikeTexas spread the message of safe cycling. Attend your local council meetings, school board meetings, and organized advocacy events like BikeTexas Cyclists in Suits. If you're interested in sharing our message, please contact us in the office at 512-476-7433 so we can brief you on the topics that should be discussed at the meetings you plan to attend.

HEADQUARTERS GENERAL OFFICE HELP
We can always use help in the office, from answering phones to help with mailings to data entry. The BikeTexas office is located in Austin, TX. If you will be traveling through the area, why not stop by and help out for a few hours? We'd love to meet you! (NOTE: Please call 512-476-7433 first, so that we can make arrangements!)

CLIPPING CREW
Do you start your morning with a cup of coffee and the newspaper? Then please sign up to be on the BikeTexas clipping crew. As a clipper, your task is to peruse your local newspaper for bicycle-related articles, editorials and letters, cut them out and send them to us on a regular basis. This helps keeps us current on local issues. We’ll provide the envelopes, you provide the scissors! Call the office at (512) 476-RIDE (7433) to request envelopes.

WRITING
We seek authors for articles on a wide variety of topics, to be included in either the newsletter or elsewhere on this Web site. We can assign you specific stories, or you can submit your story ideas. Editorials and creative writing are encouraged. We cannot pay for stories, but we encourage our members to submit news articles and stories to publish.

TABLE-TENDERS
So many organizations request that we table their events that our staff cannot possibly attend them all! If you know of an event or would be interested in staffing a table, let us know and we will make arrangements to brief you on how to present BikeTexas to the public. Also, this task generally requires that we arrange to ship banners and print materials to you, so please give us plenty of lead time!

OTHER
We seek people with skills in non-profit accounting, legal experts on bicycle issues, fundraising, graphic design and more. If you have a special talent that you would like to offer, please let us know! YOU are the secret to BikeTexas's success!
