Help RETINA SOUTH AFRICA with 30 volunteers for a para cyclist as their a tandem pilot
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Retina South Africa is looking for volunteers to join our growing pool of tandem cycling pilots - sighted cyclists who ride at the front of a tandem bicycle, empowering people living with vision loss to experience the joy and challenge of cycling. Our para-athletes are training to take part in the Dis-Chem Ride for Sight in February 2026, with training rides starting October 2025. This is a unique opportunity to share your love of cycling, make a real difference, and help build an inclusive sporting community. Why volunteer as a pilot? • Give someone with vision loss the chance to participate in cycling events. • Train together and form a rewarding partnership built on trust and teamwork. • Help break barriers and grow para sport in South Africa. If you’re keen to ride and make an impact, opt in to volunteer on ForGood. Volunteer and contact us at https://bit.ly/RideforSightVolunteerTandemPilot - or email sport@rideforsight.co.za Let’s ride for inclusion, purpose, and sight.

Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
