Our shop welcomes volunteers Monday Mornings,Tuesday afternoons and Thursday evenings. There are jobs for all skill levels and volunteers get a chance to practice their skills while helping to keep our shop in working order, fix bikes for youth or for sale in the shop, and support our programs.
This opportunity is for the alumni of our Gap Employability Program.
Volunteer opportunities for women, trans, femme and non-binary folks. GEM nights take place on the second Wednesday of the month from 5:30 - 8:30pm and are a great chance to learn, practice and build confidence in a safe, affirming space.
