About the role

Help Us Fix Bikes and Change Lives! Are you interested in bicycles, and have experience maintaining and repairing your bike, and maybe your friends' bikes as well? Are you interested in giving back to the community? then join us as a volunteer mechanic!

What You Can Expect: A fully equipped bike shop with both indoor and outdoor (covered) workstations. Access to all the tools and equipment you need. Opportunities to volunteer Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends. What to Bring: Be ready for varying temperatures-our shop can get hot or cold depending on the weather. Essentials: hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and snacks to keep you comfortable and energized. Why Volunteer with Us? Become part of a welcoming community of bicycle enthusiasts. Gain the satisfaction of helping others while doing what you love. Make a real difference in someone's life through the gift of mobility. Sign up today and help us turn used bikes into new beginnings!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
