Join the 2022 Indego Community Ambassador Team! 

Do you see a need for a healthy, family-friendly, affordable way for your community to reconnect with the city and its resources?

Indego is built on the notion that equity and accessibility should be the cornerstone of any bike-share system.  Now in its 6th year, Indego has more than 165 stations and 1,500 bicycles across much of Philadelphia and has served nearly five million rides since its launch.  

Becoming a Community Ambassador is an amazing opportunity to educate folks about Indego and help provide a way for families and friends across Philadelphia to spend time together and reconnect. Over the past two years, our lives have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. That’s why the theme for the 2022 Indego Community Ambassador season is Reconnecting Communities. ***Please note, we are no longer accepting applications for our 2022 Ambassador program due to a high volume of responses.

Our goal this season is to work with the Community Ambassadors to connect even more residents with city resources, green spaces, and the various initiatives from Rebuild that all elevate how bike-share is a tool for everyone.

“This was an awesome experience! I used Indego to run errands, have fun with my family, and encouraged seniors in my community to keep moving by taking a ride.” 

“Connecting with all the Ambassadors provided vital information about resources available throughout the city. It was great building relationships that extended beyond my season as an Indego Ambassador.” 

Responsibilities: Community Ambassadors organize group rides, help plan safety classes, participate in festivals and community forums, and serve as the Indego voice for their community. 

Requirements:  Non-profit community organizations that hold leadership roles in their community, can plan/attend approximately one event/month from April to October, and have strong ties to neighborhoods bounded by 52nd St, Lehigh Ave, Snyder Ave, and the Delaware River. 

Benefits: Each organization will receive a financial stipend for their organization ($2,000 with an opportunity to apply for up to $500.00 of grant funds), a free Indego30 monthly pass for the duration of the season, and the opportunity to help grow and shape Indego bike share! 

Deadline to apply: We are no longer accepting applications due to a high volume of responses.
