Application Process
Individuals must use the AMBUCS Chapter Directory to find their local AMBUCS chapter to request help. If there is not a chapter local near the individual, they can request to be added to the wait list with the national organization. There are three required forms for all Amtryke requests: Request and Waiver, Assessment, and Selection. The forms can be found at the webpage, Amtryke Request Forms.
Pieces of the Puzzle
- AMBUCS is facing supply issues due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They do not anticipate having new trykes back in stock until late 2022. There will be a significant wait for anyone who is currently on the National Wish List and for any new requests.
- There is a Spanish version of the Amtryke Request and Waiver form that can be found on the Amtryke Request Form webpage.
- Veterans must complete a different set of forms. Download the Veteran Request Forms.
