The New Haven Grand Prix is right around the corner, and we need your help to pull it off!

The Connecticut Cycling Advancement Program has been chosen to organize a celebration of New Haven’s cycling-friendly culture, and we need all the volunteers we can get to make it happen. On September 15th, 2017 cyclist from all over the country will converge on the streets of New Haven to showcase the cities unique cycle-ability and to watch a professional caliber cycling race. Throughout the night we are expecting no less than 15,000 live spectators to be touring vendor booths, visiting food stands and watching the race. This is where you, the volunteers, come in. To manage racers, spectators and vendors we need individuals who can direct people and traffic to ensure the night goes off without a hitch. Below is a list of volunteer positions as well as a brief outline of what each position entails.
