Volunteer at B!KE
Volunteers are vital to B!KE’s ability to deliver on our mission and are an important part of the B!KE community. Volunteers serve on our Board of Directors, refurbish donated bikes, assist with teaching during Open Shop, help us keep the shop clean and organized, assist at special events and more.
Around the Community
During the Summer, we need help running our community outreach programs, especially Bike Valet at Music Fest and the Peterborough Folk Festival.
During the Fall, we run a program called B!KE Bright, where we hand out lights to unlit riders in the evenings. We welcome help here too!
Becoming an outreach volunteer is a great way to support B!KE and biking in Peterborough, and requires no mechanical knowledge!
Inside the Shop
You don’t need to know a lot about bicycles to become a volunteer at B!KE. Cleaning, sorting parts, and answering the phone are all tasks that volunteers help out with.
If you are interested in repairing or rebuilding bikes, you can learn as you go. Staff and other volunteers are here to help you build your skills.
For more information about volunteering, get in touch with our volunteer coordinator through our application form.
Inside the Organization
B!KE is a registered charity that operates as a non-profit. That means there is a Board of Director that governs the organization on a volunteer basis. We’re always looking for candidates from Trent University, equity seeking groups, and people with legal or financial training to support and guide the broader direction of our work.
Les is our Board Chair, please contact him via email if you would like more information.
