About the volunteering opportunity
Every woman should be able to cycle! For us, cycling means being able to travel cheaply and in an environmentally friendly way, it is a pleasure to be active, it helps us to explore our surroundings and it means freedom and independence. Not every woman has the opportunity to learn how to cycle. That's why we exist. Our training sessions are open to all new and old Berliners aged 16 and over, regardless of origin, age, religion or status.
Our trainings aim to teach as many women as possible how to ride a bike and prepare them for a safe ride in traffic.
Please understand that we need our full attention for this and please refrain from interview requests during the training. Unfortunately, we do not have enough capacity for this.

Your Tasks
The training is for beginners, open to all women* and girls aged 16 and over, no matter where they come from
We are looking for women who can support women learning to cycle, but above all encourage them to speak. If you don't feel fit enough, we also offer simple traffic lessons, we have the documents (multilingual) on site. Please arrive on time so as not to miss the short introduction and be patient to endure the slight chaos at the beginning. If you don't know what to do, just talk to someone or just stop and watch. It's self-explanatory ;-)
What's needed
For this volunteering opportunity you don't need any German skills.
Please note that due to the physical contact with our 'students' we can only allow female supporters in our trainings!!! If you want to get an impression beforehand, there are lots of pictures of the project on Instagram: bikeygees
And, don't worry, we have tasks for all fitness levels ;-)

Important notice
We are only looking for female helpers because we are a safe-women-space. Please come on time as not to miss the small introduction and be patient to endure the slight chaos at the beginning. If you don't know what to do, just ask who. Since we do driving safety exercises, a basic knowledge of traffic rules would be great, but not a must.
