Walk Bike Cupertino advocates for safe and enjoyable walking and cycling opportunities for everyone in our community, regardless of age or ability. We work with the City of Cupertino and other community organizations to improve the city’s walking and cycling infrastructure and policies and promote walking and cycling, especially for students. Since our inception in 2014, we have been instrumental in helping to create many improvements such as a 5-yr Bike Ped Plan for the city, Regnart Creek Trail, the Linda Vista trail, the protected bike lanes on McClellan Road, the Dogs Off Leash Areas (DOLAs) in several parks, and more.

There are three Youth Advisory Board positions open this year for students from local High Schools. The Youth Advisory Board member will have broad discretion on how they want to get involved and will work with other board members to identify activities they are interested in doing. For example, they can volunteer at WBC events like manning our Bike Fest booth or doing helmet fittings and giving away bike helmets, they can assist with our outreach efforts through our website, newsletter and social media channels, or they can help to organize community support and advocacy for walking and biking policies and infrastructure such as protected bike lanes near schools, the proposed Carmen Bridge and more. They can even create their own project to promote walking and biking in the city. The board position term ends by mutual decision when the student leaves for college or when they no longer have time to commit to the board activities.

Please fill out the following form by August 30, 2025 to apply for a Youth Advisory Board Member position with Walk Bike Cupertino. If you have any questions, please visit https://walkbikecupertino.org/ or email info@walkbikecupertino.org.
