About

Ghisallo Cycling Initiative is looking for friendly volunteers to assist us in running our annual Halloween event, Trick or Treat on the Trail.

Trick or Treat on the Trail is held on the Boggy Creek Greenbelt Trail and is completely car-free. Halloween is the most dangerous night of the year for pedestrians, so for this event, we partner with 20+ community organizations to decorate the park, pass out candy, and distribute free safety resources to visiting families.

Volunteers for this event can help in a variety of ways! Ghisallo will need help with setup and teardown (tables, chairs, tents), event greeters, table hosts, and Monster Mash dance zone monitors. All volunteer positions are 16+ or 11-15 years old with adult or guardian supervision.
