If you want to share the joy and empowerment of bicycling with the next generation, Bike Works is currently seeking volunteers to help out with their after school and weekend programs.

Our needs include biking with youth, helping in our youth mechanics programs, bike fleet maintenance, assisting in various youth events and administrative tasks," said Youth Programs Manager iea tov.

Anyone interested should fill out the organization's online volunteer application and allow them to conduct a background check.

The Columbia City based organization hosts programs mostly for middle and high school youth, including their very popular and long-running Earn-a-Bike program. Young people who complete the full 8-week bike-fixing course leave with new mechanical skills as well as a bike they fixed up themselves. They also run educational and recreational bike riding programs and events that require volunteer power.
