As Outreach Coordinator you will be regarded as a key

representative of the Community Bicycle Network and

proponent of our mandate of promoting and stimulating

healthy, active, and neighbourhood-friendly sustainable

transportation initiatives within the City of Toronto.

You will be expected to work closely with, support and

collaborate efforts with CBN staff, Fundraising and

Bikeshare Committees as well as the CBN Advisory

Board. This is a part-time position.

As Outreach Coordinator, your responsibilities will include

but not be limited to:

1) Direct outreach to existing CBN affiliates and in the

community at large by: (i) coordinating tabling at CBN and

affiliate community events, including poster project loaner

exhibits, (ii) overseeing and coordinating responses to

general telephone and email queries; (iii) brainstorming

brilliant ways to promote CBN and Bikeshare, harnessing

new members, sponsors and affiliates;

2) Setting a meeting time and, with the input of the Board,

an agenda for all Outreach Committee meetings;

3) Working closely with the Bikeshare Committee to

coordinate volunteer activities and outreach efforts;

4) Coordinating and/or facilitating events such as a

5) Facilitating, in conjunction with staff and volunteers, any

volunteer-driven outreach projects such as Poster Project,

Speaker Series, Market Gallery Exhibit, Bike Swap, etc.

The role of the CBN Outreach committee is dynamic and

has taken shape in many different forms over the years.

There remains a core group of long-term, committed

volunteers, including the outgoing Outreach Coordinator,

who will work with you to ensure a smooth transition and

provide abundant support in the months and years to come.

Outreach Committee meetings are generally held once a

month and events and projects as capacity allows. Please
