About the Community Cycling Center

We believe that a bicycle is a tool for empowerment and a vehicle for change. The Community Cycling Center is a 501(c) 3 that broadens access to bicycling and its benefits through our hands-on programs, volunteer projects, and neighborhood shop.

General Position Summary

The Community Cycling Center accepts donated bikes to support our programs benefiting low-income children and adults. In 2010, we received more than 2,200 donated bicycles, and nearly 25% of those donations came from individuals and groups that organized collection events in their community.

We are seeking volunteers interested in working with their community to organize a bike collection. Collections provide a wonderful opportunity to connect with your neighbors, coworkers and community while helping us provide more people with a healthy way to get around. We offer a comprehensive orientation, all the materials you need and support as you plan the collection. We need your help to get more people on bikes safely!

Duties

• Meet with staff for an orientation and planning meeting
• Network within your community to get the word out about your collection
• Collect donated bikes at your collection event
• Fill out all necessary paper work for the donor and the organization
• Thank all donors for their support (most important part!)
• Process donated bikes (light, but simple, mechanic work)
• Transport bikes to the Community Cycling Center

Qualifications

• Outgoing and personable
• Enthusiasm for the Community Cycling Center’s mission and programs
• An interest in community organizing and neighborhood involvement
• Excellent detail orientation and organizational skills
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs
