Instructors
The WORD Instructors are the best! These are the folks that instruct our after school programmes and camps. As an instructor, you will be paid for teaching kids how to be good riders and good people. MTB skills, trail building, bike maintenance, and teamwork are all part of the job. You don’t need to be an amazing rider, but you do need to be stoked about helping kids enjoy it just as much as you do.
Assistant Instructors
Full of energy and stoked on riding, these 14-16 year olds assist the WORD Instructors in the after school programmes. The Assistant Instructor position is a volunteer spot that also gives you access to secret trips away! You can also use your volunteer hours as credits for Duke of Edinburgh award or school volunteer hours.
