Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of non-profit organizations; the Salt Lake City Bicycle Collective is no exception. From working with kids to fixing bikes, you can enjoy good company while helping to fulfill community service needs.

We have many opportunities to volunteer. Volunteers can refurbish bikes that are delivered back into the community through various programs such as Navajo Santa, the public bike shop, and after school Youth City courses. We could use help at these upcoming events and with these various programs. Used bikes, bike parts, and instruction are available to the general public in return for their volunteer hours or monetary donations.

Become a Drop Off Location

Turn your business into an official SLC Bicycle Collective bicycle & part drop off location!

Advertise to your customers that you will be an official SLC Bicycle Collective bicycle & part drop off location, we will also list you on our website.
Accept all bikes and parts, when your storage area is full, either drop it off at our Community Bike Shop or contact us and we can make arrangements for a volunteer to come by with a truck.
The SLC Bicycle Collective can then offer a tax receipt to your business for donating all the bikes OR directly to the indviduals.

The donated bikes will help address the demands of our extremely popular Bikes for Goodwill Organizations program. Not to mention as the ecomomy becomes weaker and gas prices start to rise back up, everyone seems to be in need of an alternative to get around.

On a side note, if you are a business, there are three great programs you should be aware of:

Bicycle Benefits which will draw cyclists to your business like honey does for flies.
Become a nationally recognized the Bicycle Friendly Business through the League of American Bicyclists.
Thanks to federal funding, you can give your employees $20 per month for bicycle commuting. Contact Commuter Check for more details.

Drivers Needed!

We have a small trailer suitable for a car to pull -- but we don't have a car. If you are willing to help us run some errands to pick up bikes, drop off and pick up event setup equiptment, or other random tasks too big for even the biggest bike trailer, please contact Krista Bowers.

Youth Programs: Earn-a-Bike Volunteers Needed

Greetings to One and All,

I hope that you have all been having a great holiday season. It has been a while--were you all beginning to suspect that I had gone away? Well, I am most definitely still here, gearing up for another fun-filled year here at Ye Olde Bicycle Collective. I know it seems hard to believe right now, what with the massive amounts of snow we are getting, but Spring will be here before you know it!

Which brings me to my next topic: starting back on January 6th, we will be having kids' earn-a-bike classes gearing (nice pun, huh?) back up. These little darlings will be at the shop every Monday-Thursday, and we could really use some help with them while they are there. The times to cover are 3:45-5:30 pm, but you don't have to do every day (although if you do, you will most certainly NOT be turned away, and you will have my undying gratitude!).

Bicycle Benefits Recruiting

Talk to and invite you favorite local business to join the national Bicycle Benefits program where there is friendly parking and some discount or other special to folks that ride their bike to the business.

Youth Programs: Trips for Kids Ride Volunteers

Do you like mountain biking and kids? Salt Lake City is surrounded by stunning landscapes and some of the best mountain biking trials anywhere. Sadly, many local youth never get the chance to experience this natural beauty or the healthy fun and challenge of mountain biking. With Trips for Kids Salt Lake City we hope to change that by getting kids who might otherwise not get the chance, on mountain bikes and out onto our local trails.

Plans are currently underway for after-school and weekend rides this spring through fall. We are looking for volunteer ride leaders to help share the joy of mountain biking and an appreciation of the outdoors with kids ages 10 to 16. Besides the ability to ride a mountain bike and relate to kids, no particular experience is required. If you can share a few hours to join us on an afternoon or weekend ride, we would love to hear from you. If you know of a local youth group or organization that might be interested in scheduling a ride, we'd love to know about that too.

Contact Krisha Pessa our Trips for Kids Coordinator to find out how you can be involved in this incredible program.
