Bike MS Volunteer
Each year, thousands of people across the country join the Bike MS volunteer team. From planning event details and calling past participants to providing safety and support for riders at the event, volunteers make Bike MS happen, and are the foundation of why Bike MS is the largest cycling fundraising event in the country.

Who can volunteer?
Families, corporate groups, and individuals of all ages and abilities are encouraged and welcome to volunteer. We are always looking for youth clubs, corporate, and service-oriented community groups to lend a hand before, during, and after our events.

When you decide to volunteer, you become part of the MS movement – a collective of passionate individuals, moving together to create a world free of MS. Together we provide support, have fun, and make a difference in the lives of people living with MS.

Some volunteer positions require specialized skills, a criminal and/or DMV background check and some may involve driving or heavy lifting. Contact us for more details.

Position Details:
Title: Program Fellow
Reports to: Managing Director
Length of Assignment: 1-12 months
Suggested start dates: Any
Positions Open: 8
If interested: Send CV and cover letter to jessica@potentialenergy.org

About the Position: We are currently seeking motivated, passionate, hard-working individuals to join us as Potential Energy Program Fellows in a wide range of areas. Fellows may choose which aspects of work they would like to contribute to, and whether they can work remotely, or join us in Uganda. We tailor the program to the fellows, to make it as relevant as possible.

About Us: Founded in 2007, Potential Energy is a social enterprise based out of Kampala, Uganda that works to increase the adoption of improved cookstoves in developing countries, to alleviate poverty and protect the environment.

Background on the Problem:
Cooking on inefficient, traditional open fires is the leading environmental cause of death in the world. Preparing 3 meals a day over an open fire – a common practice in the developing world – is the equivalent of smoking 200 cigarettes, every single day. Yet, 3 billion people cook their daily meals over an open fire, creating pollution that kills 4.3 million people each year. Traditional fires waste fuel, contribute to deforestation, release carbon into the atmosphere, and waste money and time. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it is not uncommon for families to spend a large portion of their income – sometimes up to 30%, on cooking fuel, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

Impact to date: Distributed over 50,000 cookstoves in Africa/Asia impacting the lives of 300,000 people, saving 750,000 tons of carbon, $17 million in firewood expenses, and over 2,000 hours.
