Bike Ambassadors Job Opportunity

Hello,

The Pima County Bike Ambassadors are looking to hire some students to help with bike education & outreach efforts on campus. The pay is $8/hr if you are under 18, and $10/hr if you're older. Currently, they are looking for students to work the following days/time:

Thursday (9-16): 8:30am-11:30am and/or 1:30-3:30pm (they'd like 2 students per shift)
Monday (9-20): 8:30am-11:30am and/or 1:30-3:30pm

The work would involve handing out Tucson-Pima bike maps, Share the Road guides, and talking with bikers and pedestrians about biking on campus (and being courteous and safe). The locations would be set on or near campus. There are also additional opportunities to work if you find this is something you enjoy.

The one requirement is that you take a bike safety class taught by a LAB (League of American Bicyclists) certified instructor within the next month. You can find the class schedule here: http://bikeped.pima.gov/Safety/SeptOct%202010%20Road%201%20Schedule.pdf

I know this is a last minute notice, but it's an opportunity for some very flexible work that encourages biking in Tucson. Also, let me know if you're interested even if you can't work the shifts above--there will be other opportunities.

Please e-mail me if you're interested.
