Work -Trade Opportunities:

Volunteering for Used Parts

Work - Trade volunteering can be completed if a patron is in need a of used parts but is unable to raise funds. This type of work-trade is to be completed for specific parts only. Credit can not be accrued unless it is going toward specific parts on a specific day. Check in with a mechanic to determine how long you will need to volunteer to earn credit for certain parts.

People may also come in and arrange with the mechanic a work-trade for shop use/assistance or necessary used parts .  This type of work-trade is  completed to meet a specific goal on a specific day. Credit can't be accrued and used at a later date.

Earn - A - Bike

The Bicycle Church allows individuals who need a bike but aren't able to pay, to volunteer in exchange for up to $65 credit towards a used bike and a reasonable amount of used parts. As work is completed, work-trade individuals will accrue a $13 an hour credit, for a  total of 5 hours or $65. This work can be completed on different days. Earn - A -Bike can only be done once a year per patron. The credit, once work is done, includes any shop time that must be spent to repair the bike. Keep in mind  that the available bikes often need to be repaired to make them ride-able. This work is to be done by the recipient of the bicycle with guidance from the shop volunteers.

The bike Church offers earn-a-bike and work-trade opportunities to individuals who are unable to afford a bicycle or a part to repair their own bicycle.  It is up to the mechanic on duty to decide who is eligible and if there is room in the shop for work-trade at that time.
