Volunteer with the Kris Yip Memorial Fondo

Roles & Responsibilities Explained

Package Pickup:
Get the excitement rolling the night before the Fondo! Join us for a fast-paced evening at the Prince George Civic Centre, where you’ll help participants get ready for their big day. If you’re organized, thrive under pressure, and enjoy chatting with people, this role is for you. Your tasks will include pulling bike plates, handing out participant packages, and ensuring everyone feels prepared and pumped for the ride.

Morning Greeters/Start Ushers:
Are you a morning person with a friendly smile? Help set the tone for an incredible day by welcoming participants as they arrive. As a Morning Greeter or Start Usher, you’ll assist with check-ins, provide directions, and help riders line up for their start times. Your enthusiasm and energy will ensure everyone feels excited and ready to Crush It! This role runs from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, making it perfect for those who love bright and early starts. 

Cheer Squads:
We could all use some good cheer! If you have creative skills for signage and words of encouragement join or create a cheer squad. Strategically placed cheer teams on the course will encourage participants as they grind their way through the course. 

Medical Team:
If you hold certifications in first aid, we need you! There will be a variety of locations available on the course and at the venue for emergencies. This will be a full-day commitment from 7:30 am - 4:00 pm. 

Venue Support/Liaison:
Working with our Venue Coordinator you would assist with ad-hoc requests from participants, vendors, and the organizing committee. This could include heavy lifting or lifting of some kind as well as needing to be able to move quickly. 

Course Marshals:
If you like telling people where to go, this job is for you. Simply directing participants and cheering them on at critical junctions is all you’ll need to do. This opportunity will be done in shifts depending on the number of volunteers starting at 7:30 am - 3:30 pm. 

Aid Stations:
This is a critical function for all rides of this size. Paired in teams, you will manage the aid stations and provide nutrition, encouragement, and good cheer to participants. This opportunity will be done in shifts depending on the number of volunteers starting at 7:30 am - 3:30 pm.

Bike Security Check-in/Check-out:
Looking for somewhere quiet to hang out and still support a good cause? The bike security area might be perfect! Stay indoors in a quiet area where all you need to do is ensure bikes are checked properly, stay secure, and are checked out by their rightful owner. This opportunity will be done in shifts depending on the number of volunteers starting at 11:00 am - 3:30 pm. 

Photographers/Videographers:
Help us capture the moments that matter! Armed with your cellphone or camera, you’ll document the energy, excitement, and emotion of the Kris Yip Memorial Fondo.
