The Community Cycling Center offers fun and rewarding volunteer opportunities for businesses, schools and social groups. We will teach you everything you need to know to complete hands-on projects that benefit our organization and the community we serve.

No mechanical skills are needed for our projects. Past groups have spent the day:

• Cleaning bicycles destined for the Holiday Bike Drive.
• Transporting and organizing bicycles, parts and supplies.
• Recycling parts from donated bicycles that cannot be used in our programs.

What We Provide

Our knowledgeable staff will set up a well-planned day that offers a team building experience for your group. You can expect:

• An engaging orientation to your project and its impact.
• A detailed training and support throughout the activity.
• A 3- or 4-hour, hands-on project that encourages teamwork and cooperation.

What You Provide

Volunteer groups are a popular part of our dynamic volunteer program. We dedicate a great deal of time and care to these projects, and ask our partners to support our efforts as follows:

• Organize a group of at least 15 volunteers.
• Contact us early, as our schedule fills quickly. Please be in touch at least a month in advance of your desired date.
• Keep our program strong by offering a matching gift of at least $200. We encourage you to contribute in a way that is meaningful for your team, and can offer some great examples of how groups have contributed in the past.
