VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Bikes Not Bombs simply couldn't function without our tremendous volunteer support! Volunteers earn credit by the hour, which can be cashed in for used parts, frames, or even whole bikes. Join our volunteer email list and we'll keep you updated with opportunities as they roll around! To join the email list, just click here. For more info on volunteering, check out some of the options below and see what fits right for you.

Wednesday Volunteer Nights

Taking apart bikes Get your hands dirty with a wrench, flattening bikes to prepare them for international shipment, stripping bikes for parts, or sorting used parts. Or, help our office staff with database updates or mailings. Anyone is welcome to drop in to the Bikes Not Bombs Hub between 7pm and 10pm, on every Wednesday night (barring special events and holidays). A supervisor will show you what to do, and no experience is required. Groups are asked to schedule with at least 2 weeks notice to Jeremy Hanson at jeremy@bikesnotbombs.org or 617-522-0222, and limit their attendance to 5 or fewer people. Because of issues of capacity, not all group volunteering requests can be accommodated.

International Bike Shipments

Come help load a 40-foot container with bicycles and parts to send overseas. Nine or ten times a year we bring in lots of volunteers for most of a weekend day to do this.Join our email list to get the announcements, or check the Events list on our homepage.
