I don't know if it would be relevant, but the US Cycling Federation,
http://www.usacycling.org/coaches/ offers coaching education and the Leage of American Bicyclists also provide courses, tho' they are, I believe, concerned with on-road safe riding. If you did one of the LAB instructor courses, you would be able to set fellow newcomers on the right road (pun not intended) from the start.
The North and South Carolina cycling Association website doesn't seem to offer anything along those lines.
