Get Involved

Volunteers

Though previous bike mechanic experience is always welcome, it is not required to volunteer with Bike Works. Everyone in our community, regardless of skill level, can volunteer. We have tasks for all ability levels, from helping to organize tools or parts to refurbishing bikes and everything in between. All we ask of our volunteers is that you be respectful to everyone, come ready to learn, roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. When you come to volunteer, we ask that you dress appropriately. Please, no open-toed shoes or clothes that you do not want bike grease on. 

Volunteer Staff

The Bike Works is always looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our volunteer staff, or volunteers who commit to regular hours to help run the workshop or attend community outreach events. The volunteer staff is integral to the success of our mission-related programs and services. We are looking for individuals to help teach education classes, mentor, during open shop work nights, schedule volunteers, or help repair bikes/tables at community events. If you are interested, please talk to any of the volunteer staff at our workshop or at any events about this great opportunity to give back in a meaningful way. Previous bike mechanic experience is not required to join our volunteer staff, though always welcomed.   

Donate Used Bikes, Parts, and Tools

One major challenge is the cost of bicycles, cycling safety equipment, and maintenance are major barriers to access affecting a large part of our community. Your generous donations of gently, used bicycles, safety equipment, parts, and tools are critical to the success of our mission of promoting cycling for recreation and transportation for all Utahans. Refurbishing used bicycles and parts are the main teaching strategy we utilize to build empowerment and self-reliance. We accept used bikes and/or parts in any condition. Whatever we can not repair will be stripped for parts to help repair other bikes. We try to save a wide variety of used parts, and what we can't, we then recycle. Striping bikes for parts is an amazing teaching tool for new volunteers to learn basic bike maintenance skills. We accept donations at our workshop during our Open Shop Work Nights every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-8 pm. The Bike Works is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
