The Community Cycling Center offers fun and rewarding volunteer opportunities for corporations, businesses, churches, schools and social groups. We offer hands-on activities that require no skills, but will greatly benefit the CCC and the kids and adults we serve through our programs. At the start of every group, we introduce volunteers to the CCC and provide them with a thorough training of the day’s tasks.

Volunteer group projects include:

• Cleaning donated kids bikes for the Holiday Bike Drive.
• Taking apart bikes we cannot use for our programs, harvesting usable parts and responsibly recycling the rest.
• Transporting and organizing bikes, parts and supplies.
• Staffing special events to benefit the CCC, including the Holiday Bike Drive and the Hottest Day of the Year Ride.

I enjoyed the people I volunteered with and I had fun learning a thing or two about taking tires off - Hands on Greater Portland volunteer

The overall organization of the activity was the best that I have ever been involved in - Portland Community College volunteer

This was the most fun volunteer experience I have ever had. Thanks! - Nike volunteer
