Join us as a volunteer!

The first step to joining our volunteer community is attending a Volunteer Orientation. This is your chance to learn more about Charlottesville Community Bikes’ mission and our Volunteer Program. We’ll talk about what we do, take a tour of the shop, and discuss how you can start volunteering.

If you’re interested in scheduling a volunteer orientation, please email us at info@cbikes.org.

We have a variety of opportunities for volunteers, such as:

  • Cleaning donated bikes for our Referral Bike Program

  • Repairing & refurbishing kids’ bikes for our Kids’ Bike Program

  • Cleaning donated parts in our parts washer

  • Sorting donations and tires

  • Sweeping and picking up trash outside the shop 

  • Cleaning the shop (sweeping, mopping, cleaning the bathroom)

  • Patching inner tubes

  • Prepping bikes for our mechanics to refurbish 

  • Taking out trash and recycling


*Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when volunteering at Community Bikes.
