Volunteers play a big role in supporting all of our hands-on programs and events. Whether you’re looking to ride along with a Create a Commuter workshop, co-teach a Maintenance Class, photo-document an outreach event or help us collect used bicycles, there’s an opportunity for everyone!

We also have several opportunities for volunteers looking to build their bike repair skills. If you’re interested in learning more about our Guest Mechanic Program, click here.
