Interested in volunteering with us? We have a workshop every Tuesday to work on bikes. No prior bike mechanic skills necessary! We have several volunteers who pick up donations, assist clients in selecting a bike, refurbish bikes and manage the organization. We use some of our donations to purchase lunch for these hard working volunteers during our mid-afternoon break. We need help fixing bikes, cleaning up bikes, managing social media, pick-up, delivery, fundraising, marketing and corporate support. Come, help us, the feeling of making someone’s life a bit nicer is great. You will be richly rewarded by seeing the smiles we create.
Please contact us at 512.931.1756 or through the Georgetown Free Bikes Facebook page if you’re ready to volunteer. Or; come by our shop, at the end of the driveway behind 2000 Dawn Drive, Georgetown on Tuesday between 11 and 8 to see for yourself.
Georgetown Free Bikes operates through a dedicated group of people and organizations with a passion for the mission of ensuring everyone who wants a bike has access to one. With that in mind, our volunteers are what makes the organization move forward. Georgetown Free Bikes is managed by its volunteer members.
Our passionate team of volunteers collect and receive bicycle donations from the local area. Volunteers process bicycles by helping people choose the right bike size. Mechanics then take those bicycles, evaluate them and begin the task of refurbishing them to a functional bicycle to live a new life with a new owner. We have all the tools and parts necessary to refurbish these bicycles. All we need is enthusiastic people interested in helping the community. No experience is necessary, we will teach you how to fix up bikes. The satisfaction of taking a bike that has some issues and making it functional again is rewarding in itself but when you experience the joy we create, that is the cherry on top.
Looking for a volunteer opportunity for your youth group or other community organization? Please get in touch with us — we’d love to partner with you to repair and distribute bikes.
A few hours of your time on Tuesdays of each week makes a huge difference in our ability to deliver bicycles to our residents.
