The Bikery is a volunteer-run organization, and we are always looking for more people who can help us continue with our mission. We need help from all kinds of people with all sorts of skills. Here are some examples of helpers that we need, but this list is not extensive, and we welcome help from everyone. If you're interested in getting started volunteering with the Bikery, you can fill out our volunteer profile form to let us know how to reach you and what interests you most.

• Mechanics

  We need individuals who can help us with our clinics, classes and open hours.

• Greeters and Other Shop Help

  We need people who can greet visitors to the Bikery, and speak about our mission and services. We also routinely need help cleaning up the shop, and we sometimes have other related tasks too. Just check in with the staff on the day you have available to see what needs to be done.

• Programming Committee

  Do you have an idea for a class we should put on or one that you could lead? We also need help coordinating our education program including choosing which classes should go on each month, and finding teachers to lead them.

  The Programming Committee meets with the Communications Committee on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 7pm at the Bikery at the Bikery. Everyone is welcome, but if you have any questions about the committee, you can email communications at thebikery dot org.

• Communications Committee
  The Bikery needs a lot of help with our communications and marketing. Here is a sampling of the ways that you can help out the Bikery with our communications:
  • Design and Create fliers for our classes and for the Bikery
  • Print our fliers and materials for the Bikery. If you want to do this, you can email communications at thebikery.org, and we can email you files to print out and info on how many. Then you can just bring them by the shop.
  • Help maintain this website (training available, but website knowledge helps)
  • Help maintain our Facebook and Myspace pages
  • Write stories for our Newsletter
  • Edit our Newsletter, which is emailed through Vertical Response (training available, but HTML knowledge helps)
  • Write and distribute media releases

  To learn more about how you can help with the Bikery's Communications, send an email to  communications at thebikery.org, or visit the Programming and Communications Committee, which meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 7pm at the Bikery.

• Fundraising Committee
  We have a newly launched Fundraising Committee, where members help us launch events and programs to help raise money for the Bikery. As this committee is very new we need a lot of help, but here are some areas specifically:
  • Help us think of ideas for fundraising events and progams
  • Help us organize and promote events already in planning
  • Help us organize our develpment program and track donations

As the committee is new, we are still working out the final routine for our meeting schedule. Please check our calendar and newsletter for up-to-date meeting times, or you can email volunteer at thebikery.org for more information.

If you are interested in any or all of the above opportunities, send an email to volunteer at thebikery dot org. We'll set you up for a volunteer orientation, and then you can get started!
