Interest in bookkeeping is a plus. Bilingual/multilingual is a plus. Grant writing is a plus. Computer skills are a plus.

An important value of the Bike Church is to be a safe space for individuals
from our community no matter their
race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, income, or ability. Thus any
applicants must also be able to foster, respect and create a safe, fun, space
for our community. In addition, the Bike Church is at times a very 
vibrant, busy
space, and staff members must have strong people skills and, importantly,
communication about boundaries.
