Mentors
Once you register to be an ACT 8 rider, you will be assigned a volunteer mentor if this is your first ACT ride. This mentor is your main point of contact and your rock of support. They will have knowledge about what it's like to participate in a multi-day cycling event and how to go about fundraising. Please call your Mentor with questions, concerns, help designing your personal fundraising and training plan, and other ACT 8 related needs.
Your mentor can help you set a fundraising goal and action plan:
- Provide fundraising website assistance if needed.
- Assist with writing a fundraising letter.
- Assist with scheduling and arranging a house party.
- Help set up a training plan.
- Provide equipment advice, drawing from their own experience. The initial investment for cycling can be high so talk to your mentor about alternatives.
Your mentor can answer a lot of other questions:
- Tell you about the discounts/special offers that apply to ACT 8 participants.
- Tell you about attending training rides and other social events. Ask your mentor when they will be going to training rides so you can go together.
- Get answers for you about your specific questions regarding fundraising, training, what the ride is like, what camp is like on the ride and what gear to take.
- Tell you about volunteering with AIDS Network, or what roles AIDS Network staff and the volunteer steering committee having in making ACT 8 happen.
If you are registered for ACT 8 and your mentor has not contacted you yet, please contact the mentor coordinator to verify your contact information. Remember that your mentor is there to help you!
