We are always
interested in recruiting volunteers
for our Volunteer Bikeway
Patrol. Maybe you are already a
V.I.P and want to stretch your wings
or maybe you know a young person
that is looking to do community
service hours. It's a great way to
get involved in your community, make
great friends, and learn about the
John H. Chafee Blackstone River
Valley National
Heritage Corridor. Are you or
someone you know interested in
joining our group or maybe just
volunteering to help host one of
our scheduled events? If so,
please contact:
