Tetra Society: TrailRiders and More

September 23 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm PDT

Join Eric Molendyk from Tetra Society on Monday, September 23rd from 12-1 PT for a presentation where you can learn about TrailRider rentals and all that is Tetra Society.

If you love working with people, have a passion to improve your community or are a university student looking to put your skills into action, then starting a Tetra chapter or Tetra club is for you. Tetra recruits technically skilled volunteers to build customized devices to remove barriers for people with disabilities. If you would like to be a part of this in your community, find out how to start a chapter or university club, and find out more about Tetra itself.

Eric has been involved with Tetra since 2001, starting as the assistant to the provincial coordinator, then serving as the coordinator for BC until he became Tetra’s national coordinator at the start of 2018. Eric is truly honored to work with all the coordinators and regional coordinators throughout Tetra and never ceases to be in awe at the brilliance of our volunteers. Their dedication and ingenuity helps not just people with disabilities but society as a whole to re-imagine what is possible.

Please note that this live event will be recorded and streamed to Facebook and YouTube, where it will remain available for our community to enjoy after the session has ended. Closed captioning for this event will be available on these platforms.
