Avalon Mountain Bike Association is seeking a volunteer to join our Board of Director team.
The Avalon Mountain Bike Association (AMBA) is an incorporated not-for-profit community organization engaged in promoting the sport of mountain biking on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador primarily through the development, maintenance and preservation of shared-use trails. We are also committed to promoting socially and environmentally responsible mountain biking and trail use, and to making mountain biking fun and accessible for riders of all levels and demographics. AMBA has been incorporated with the province of Newfoundland and Labrador since 2012. The volunteer board of directors consists of six members who meet monthly and as needed to conduct business.
AMBA's main activities focus on building awareness of existing and development of new mountain bike trails as well as working with community stakeholders and various levels of government to advocate for mountain bike infrastructure to be formalized and preserved. Throughout the year, we organize and coordinate volunteer "dig days" to create new and maintain existing trails throughout the city. Volunteer hours regularly exceed 250 hrs/week. We work to serve the growing mountain bike community, promote physical and mental health in our area and create a network of world class trails that are free and accessible to all users.
