Oregon League
Student Advisory Crew

2025 Season

Creating Super Stoke.

Student Advisory Crew

The Oregon League’s Student Advisory crew is responsible for sharing the student-athlete’s perspective and creating super stoke around the student-athlete experience throughout the season. This is a collaborative, engaged group of students who are ready to take on a leadership role and provide insight to the league’s leadership.

Advisory crew members will help shape the future of the Oregon League, advise on timely issues, and advocate for the best interests of all student-athletes. 

Guided by NICA’s CORE VALUES

Student Advisory Crew members will be guided by NICA’s core values:

  • Fun: NICA inspires friendship, joy, and adventure.

  • Inclusivity: NICA believes everyone should be able to participate in our programs and feel welcomed, respected, and supported.

  • Equity: NICA is committed to fair treatment, equal access, opportunity, advancement and elimination of barriers to encourage participation for all.

  • Respect: NICA expects consideration for all others, oneself, and the outdoors.

  • Community: NICA unites diverse people, families and communities through cycling by creating fun and welcoming experiences.
