Volunteers organize and lead rides, support major events like Escape New York, and support our work behind the scenes through committees and the Board of Directors.

Volunteer with NYCC

We need and value you as a volunteer.
To make sure you know how much we appreciate your time and energy, each year, volunteers are recognized with credits to purchase club gear, based on the number of rides led, or hours spent volunteering. The specific amount of credits is established in March of each year based on the annual budget and the number of rides lead and volunteer hours the prior year.

Ride leaders will be notified in April of the amount of credits they earned in the prior year.
