Volunteer with us!

Sign up for our group activities on Meetup!

We also have indivdual roles on VolunteerMatch.

Vélocity is always looking for volunteers to refurbish donated bikes. No experience is necessary–we’ll provide training.

Anyone 18 or older is welcome to volunteer with Vélocity. 16- and 17-year-olds must be accompanied by a parent or guardian the first time they volunteer. Volunteers under 16 will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Reasons to Volunteer with Vélocity

The Cause

As a volunteer, you’ll directly contribute to building a bike-centric society, helping us get people out of their cars and onto bikes. You’ll promote sustainable transportation, healthy exercise, reuse of resources, and community.

Gain useful experience

We train all our volunteers and will help you get involved in any aspect of Vélocity that interests you. We are always happy to write reference letters describing your roles and accomplishments.

Make new friends

Vélocity is a great place for anyone new to town, new to biking, or just looking to form connections. See our Safe Space Policy.
