We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers of all biking abilities and gender identities to lead our easy-to-follow curriculums. Neither coaching nor biking experience is required. All you need to bring is your most joyful and dynamic self - we'll provide the rest. All coaches receive training and are supported by staff throughout their volunteer experience. We supply all lesson plans and coaching materials. Note: anyone under the age of 18 should apply as a junior coach.

Details on all our programs can be found at girlsingear.org/ourprograms.

Pedal Power: Pedal Power is designed for riders of all abilities, from balance bikes and tricycles to two-wheelers and everything in between. Each session combines a social-emotional learning skill with a bike-riding skill, using movement and reflection to help build strong, confident girls. Advanced riders head out on community rides, while newer riders engage in skill-building games. Every curriculum culminates in a leadership event planned by the girls themselves. Sessions are 90 minutes long and take place once a week for eight weeks.

Glide-to-Ride: During our Glide-to-Ride clinics, we help riders progress through the skills needed to bike on two wheels in a safe and judgment-free environment. Riders start by practicing balancing, moving on turning, and finally, pedaling on their own.

Club GiG: Club GiG is an all-riding, all-the-time bike club for seasoned riders who are ready to push their limits and ride farther, faster, and with confidence. Each session is grounded in a central theme that coaches reinforce during the ride, offering reflection questions that encourage personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery along the way. It’s all about going the distance - on the bike and in life.

Camp GiG: Camp GiG consists of 5 half or full-day sessions with small groups ensuring a close-knit and inclusive experience. Through biking adventures and team-building activities, girls will discover what it means to be a supportive friend and develop the confidence to tackle challenges in the classroom, at home, and on the bike trail. Each day leaves them feeling strong, appreciated, and connected to their teammates.

We are also always looking for bike mechanics and substitute coaches to help out across our program sites.
