Volunteer at Working Bikes

Working Bikes Cooperative is run by volunteers. There are a small number of paid staff people but nearly everyone you will meet at Working Bikes is a volunteer.

We have a lot of functions to fill. Volunteers run the bike shop; attend outreach events where we publicize the mission; pick up bicycles from people who support our activities; respond to email; and more. If you want to volunteer, Working Bikes will find a way to use your talents to achieve the goals.

The best way to get involved is to visit Working Bikes when the shop is open (Wednesday 12PM-7PM, Saturday 10AM-5PM) or on Volunteer night (Tuesday 5PM-9PM) and talk with the volunteers.

Recently the Green Festival was held at Navy Pier. Ten volunteers ran the Working Bikes booth and talked to those to stopped by. In the photo, Eric Wood, a long time volunteer and member of the Board of Directors of Working Bikes Cooperative, demonstrates on of the Bike Machines.

Working Bikes is located at 2434 S. Western Avenue in Chicago at the SW corner of 24th Place and Western Avenue.
