About
Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is looking for friendly volunteers to assist us in running the largest event we are producing this year, Austin's 2025 Cyclovia!
Cyclovia is a free, public, family-friendly event and will include a range of activities and activation beyond human-powered mobility, such as physical activities, sustainability workshops, map-making and city navigation activities, arts and crafts, a variety of performances (music, dance, martial arts), non-profit and civic engagement booths, and other community and neighborhood partners.
Volunteers for this event can help in a variety of ways! Ghisallo will need help with setup and teardown, event greeters, information desk, passport stampers, and more. Specific event positions will be provided closer to the event. All volunteer positions are 16+ or 11-15 years old with adult or guardian supervision.
Additional information is available on the Cyclovia ATX website which will be updated with detailed activities site map and schedule, sponsor and partner listings, and additional resources (how to get to the event, etc) in October. We anticipate a total attendance of 1,500+ over the course of the day.
