Volunteer Stewardship Challenge
Club leaders: Log your Volunteer Stewardship Challenge hours here.
IMBA and REI have targeted "10,000 Volunteer Days Annually in 2010" as the goal for a powerful new initiative, the REI/IMBA Volunteer Stewardship Challenge. The objective: boost volunteerism in the mountain biking community - which is already highly commendable - and do a better job recording and sharing our achievements with others.
Our goal is to record 10,000 volunteer days during the year 2010. Along the way, we're aiming to hit some important benchmarks: IMBA hopes to document 3,000 volunteer days in 2006, and 5,000 days during 2007. Notice that these numbers are not cumulative - they reflect the number of volunteer workdays we hope to record each year.
Please help us advance the sport of mountain biking by participating in the Volunteer Stewardship Challenge!
U.S.-based clubs who log their volunteer work before Nov. 15 are eligible to receive one of ten (10) $500 cash grants and entered to win REI/IMBA Volunteer Stewardship Toolkits. Toolkits are valued at approximately $200 and will be distributed this fall. Please log your volunteer hours now!
