Upcoming volunteer opportunities at WABA events:

NBC 4 Health and Fitness Expo Kids Bike Rodeo

January 10th and 11th

WABA is seeking committed volunteers who like kids and have lots of patience to help us staff our big Bicycling Pavilion at NBC4 Health and Fitness Expo on Sat Jan 10 and Sun 11 from 9 am to 5 pm at the Washington Convention Center. Participants range from 4-12 years of age. Volunteers as young as 15 can be tremendously helpful to the kids.

Volunteers can help us with the following:

• registering participants
• getting waivers signed by parents
• running the hourly raffle for a helmet
• fitting helmets on children and managing the crowd
• explaining rules of the road to kids (following WABA flip chart) showing them how to make sure your bike is safe to ride (flip chart)
• putting them on bikes and explaining the rodeo course
• manning the stations of the course to see that riders follow the rules.
