At Shift Community Cycles, volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Donating your time allows us to provide educational programs and services to our local community. We offer unique volunteering opportunities such as ‘Learn to Ride’ events, free repair popups, free workshops and fixing up bikes for those in need. With the help of volunteers and our generous community, Shift is a vibrant hub for bike culture, resources and education.

Volunteering with Shift is open to anyone, not just professional or aspiring bike mechanics. We need help to process, organize and upcycle community members' generous donations. Once refurbished bikes and parts are ready for retail, these sales fund critical services that support our underserved communities. As a volunteer, you play a pivotal role in building a more accessible bicycle-friendly future.
