Help us Share the build....Share the ride! YCR2 is like any other non-for profit that requires dollars to operate, and we need more to meet the growing needs of our families requesting service. We are updating our Sponsorship Package and will be asking you to share with your contacts as well as participate and support where you can! WE NEED $$$$
I volunteer on the You Can Ride 2 board because of the joy this program brings to kids and their families. You just can't beat the shouts of glee as the kids take off pedaling their bikes, or the pride of the parents as their child masters a new skill. I love that this program brings volunteers with different skills (cycling experts, therapists, mechanics) together to help problem solve solutions to get kids riding more successfully. Volunteering with YCR2 has allowed me to meet a ton of great people, some amazing kids and families, and help shape a unique grassroots program. - Janine Halayko

why we do it
YCR2 and Goodwill share a unique partnership with a common focus on providing children with different abilities the freedom to enjoy a bike ride with family and friends. Goodwill does not provide direct financial support to the operations of the program, but rather supports in the areas of leadership, accounting, marketing, and facilities. Inspiring Albertans to make a difference!

Like so many non-for profit organizations, our greatest resource is our people. The gears of the organization are our volunteers and dedicated part-time staff who keep us moving forward and having that positive impact on the lives of the families we support. But now we need your help! We need to expand our board and committees to ensure we can deliver our programs. We especially need individuals with skills and backgrounds in social media, websites, and information sharing technologies. We need people with skills and contacts in the area of fund development so we can secure sustainable funding well into the future. We need leaders who will build on the great work that has been done to date and guide our program into the future! And we cannot forget the great support we get at your events by those who can lend that helping hand! So if you are interested in being on the board and/or committee(s), or would like more information please send your letter of interest/request to TCherkawski@goodwill.ab.ca (be part of the team...)
