Volunteer for Ride Don't Hide

Every year RDH in Victoria is a success thanks to our volunteers. Ride Don't Hide is a massive event, and we rely on our volunteers to keep the day's event going smoothly. There are a range of positions available, and we welcome everyone to sign up and be a part of our community.

Sign up today to join the crew! 

There will be a mandatory volunteer orientation on Thursday June 1st. The exact time is still to be announced, but will be in the evening. If you have questions about volunteering for RDH, please don't hesitate to reach out to the volunteer coordinator.
