What Do Volunteers Do?
Bike Builds
We can always use help fixing up old bikes for sale. These are our primary source of income to keep the shop open. We host bike build nights for volunteers.
Shop Maintenance and Organizing
There is a constant inflow of old bikes and parts to our shop, as well as the inevitable disorder that results from lots of people rummaging through drawers. Our goal of diverting usable parts and bikes from the waste stream is best served if it's easy for people to find what they need. So you can help the shop and serve the community by working with mechanics to sort parts properly, cull less-useful items, and/or strip useful parts off surplus or broken frames. If this kind of volunteering interests you, please drop in on a shift and offer to help.
Teach Workshops
Some community members are so excited about bikes, the want to share their knowledge and passion with others. We collaborate with volunteers to offer workshops to our community.
Random Awesome Projects
If you have an idea for a project that you think will benefit the Bike Church (and hopefully yourself), let us know! We love to help people share their skills and knowledge.

Some History
For about 15 years, The Bike Church was entirely volunteer run. In around 2014, the collective decided to pay the core members of the collective, while also having a pool of volunteers to support the shop. The volunteer program was put on pause during COVID. In 2024, we restarted our volunteer program to give enthusiastic folks an outlet for their bike-related passions, while also getting much needed help to make the shop the best it can be!
