Volunteer for the Twin Lights Ride
It takes 100 volunteers to help on event day, and we could use some assistance setting up the day beforehand, too. Residents of Highlands and nearby communities in Monmouth County, New Jersey, are especially welcome to help out.
Volunteers receive a Twin Lights Ride souvenir and lunch. Some positions allow the chance to ride a portion of the route. All volunteers will be given event-day instructions and training and are also invited to attend an optional orientation (details TBD).
