Join a Working Group
Volunteer Working Groups meet monthly and play an important role in planning and organizing Bike Union programs and campaigns. Participation in these groups offers a more active, “on-the-ground” influence than traditional volunteer opportunities.
Activist Group
The Activist Group uses community organizing to make Boston a safer, more enjoyable place to ride a bike. Join us if you like doing outreach and connecting with people about issues they care about, working on campaigns, planning direct actions and/or being part of a group to bring about change. Join us if you are interested in helping the BCU lead strategy for improving streets and passing policy.
