CicLAvia - Volunteer with The Trails Council

Visit Our Booth at CicLAvia — Volunteers Needed, Too!

In cooperation with the Santa Monica Mountains Task Force, we’re proud to announce our presence at CicLAvia along Ventura Blvd on Sunday, December 8th, 2024.

CicLAvia is a festive cycling event that occurs nine times every year, across the Los Angeles basin. Five or so miles of contiguous roadway are blocked off to vehicle traffic, allowing the public to enjoy unimpeded movement along the route.

Along the way, riders will find pop-up booths featuring everything from food venues to shops to information on local government and various non-profits — including one for your local volunteer trail crews!

We could Use Your Help

We’ll be working two jobs, and need volunteers for three 2- or 3-hour shifts for each. Robert Bittner is coordinating the joint outreach program, and will be on site all day. All volunteers will be provided with lunch. The first job will be to support law enforcement traffic control at one of six vehicle crossing points. Wearing brightly colored shirts, the goal of our volunteers is to ensure participants’ safety at intersections by supporting California Conservation Corps: encouraging people to slow down and stop, providing directions, and answering route-related questions. The second job will be to staff our pop-up booth, where folks can learn about the Sierra Club and Trails Council volunteer trail crews. The first and third shifts will assist in set up and tear down. All vehicle crossing volunteers will be provided with event t-shirts. Parking and directions will be provided once we are assigned a location.

Please contact Robert to sign up for a shift or ask further questions. Call (310) 941-9459, or email rsdinc86@gmail.com.
