Have you been looking for an opportunity to get more involved with Durham Bike Co-op?
We always have a need for experienced bicycle mechanics, but even if you don't have mechanical skills, there are lots of other ways to get involved and help us in our mission to increase community access to bicycles in Durham. Below are descriptions of some of the high-priority volunteer roles we have open.
Current volunteer needs at DBC
Experienced mechanics (Sunday shop)
Can you true a wheel and rebuild hubs? We need experienced bike mechanics who can help patrons learn how to repair their bikes on Sundays. You would be working with the lead mechanic and other volunteers to help folks who need bike repair assistance.Greeters (Thursday Community DIY shop)
Greeters at Durham Bike Co-op work the front desk, checking in patrons and managing sales and payments. You don't need any experience for this role. We'll train you!Lead and support mechanics (Wednesday TWIG DIY shop)
Grounds maintenance lead (Year-round)
We're looking for a grounds maintenance lead who will mow the lawn, do weed eating, leaf blowing, and other activities that help keep our property healthy and beautiful. This person will take care of the grounds now, coordinate other volunteers to help, and be responsible for hiring a crew to do the mowing next summer.Tire disposal lead (Occasional)
Do you have a truck that could occasionally be used to help DBC recycle old tires? We need a volunteer who will periodically empty the dead tire bins at the co-op into their truck, carry to the Waste Management Facility, pay for dumping and get reimbursed.Have another skill you want to volunteer?
Are you a graphic designer? Do you have photography or fundraising skills to share? Do you like coordinating events? Do you have technology skills that could help a small nonprofit operate? There are lots of other ways to get involved in serving the bike co-op's mission. Contact us if you want to help in some way that's not listed here.
