Volunteers make Mamma Jamma special!
An event the size and caliber of Mamma Jamma could not succeed without the dedicated service of hundreds of volunteers. We are enormously grateful for the time, talent and energy that our volunteers bring to the ride every year.
Are you interested in volunteering for the 2024 Texas Mamma Jamma Ride? We have loads of exciting opportunities during ride week and on ride day that are perfect for both individuals and groups. Volunteers will receive the 2024 Volunteer Guide in advance of their shift.
Volunteer Waivers
Speed up your check-in - all volunteers must sign both waivers before they’re allowed to go on their shift! If you can print and sign these beforehand, that’s ideal!
The 2024 Volunteer Guide is Here!
The 2024 Volunteer guide has most everything that registered volunteers need to know. Registered volunteers should have received an email with details specific to their shift(s), and everyone will receive additional emails and/or instructions at the beginning of their shift. Please note that all volunteers need to be registered, and must have signed the waivers at volunteer check-in. Other than that - rock on, because you make this happen, and you make the Mamma Jamma Ride rock! We’ll see you next week!
