Bikepacking Roots Regional Stewards Application

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Bikepacking Roots Regional Steward program. Through this program, we are striving to build a diverse bikepacking community all across the country. Regional Stewards will serve as trusted leaders, sources of information, and community builders in their regions. We are very much interested in including representation of people of color, all gender identities, sexual orientations and abilities. We will also be selecting Regional Stewards with an interest in achieving diverse geographic representation of folks around the country.

We are currently accepting applications only for Community Stewards at this time.

We will primarily be bringing on new Route Stewards through our Community Routes Project. More information on that project can be found here. We anticipate opening applications for Advocacy Stewards at the end of the year or in early 2024.

Please complete the application below to tell us a bit about yourself and your interest in our program by September 8th, 2023. We will be reviewing all submissions and reaching back out to folks in late September or early October with next steps.

At this time, our Regional Stewards program is only open to applicants in the United States, including Puerto Rico.
