General Position Summary

Get Lit is a bike safety promotion program. We like to think of it as a random act of safety because we install Planet Bike front and rear lights for free on unsuspecting (and unlit) cyclists.

Duties

• Work with CCC staff at predetermined distribution sites
• Network with passing cyclists providing education, materials and lights as appropriate
• Complete program documentation as required

Skills

• Willingness to receive training from CCC staff on programs, bike light and helmet statistics and laws.
• Ability to represent the CCC in the community by effectively communicating the mission, vision, values, and programs of the organization.
