Mountain Biking

Outdoors for All’s Mountain Bike programs offer participants a safe, fun atmosphere to learn and practice safe mountain biking techniques. The focus of some is just to have a safe and fun biking experience while others hope to develop lifelong mountain bike skills. Volunteers can expect to work one-on-one or in small groups with riders that are ages 18+, can independently ride a standard or adaptive mountain bike on varied terrain. Outdoors for All partners with Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance (EMBA) for mountain bike education.

PARTICIPANT PROTECTION POLICIES

SPORT PROTECTION REPORTING FORM

Ā 

Outdoors for All does not tolerate abuse or neglect of any kind, between any association of staff, volunteers, participants, family members, or caregivers. In Washington State, abuse or neglect is defined as the physical, sexual, or emotional injury of child (or vulnerable adult) by any person under circumstances which cause harm to the individual’s health, welfare, or safety; or the negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child (or vulnerable adult) by a person responsible for or providing care to the child.

If there is suspected abuse or neglect, or a claim of abuse or neglect, taking place within an Outdoors for All program, or with a participant who is involved in an Outdoors for All program, Outdoors for All has a legal and ethical responsibility to report such suspensions or claims to the appropriate authorities and/or support investigations intoĀ such claims of abuse or neglect.

During an investigation, Outdoors for All may limit the participation of individuals involved in the claim. Outdoors for All does not have an obligation to share the details of an investigation with those involved in the claim, to protect privacy and prevent retaliation of those involved.

Staff and volunteers complete yearly training on abuse and neglect prevention and reporting practices within Washington State.
