Bike Repair Mentors
If you are a reasonably skilled mechanic and do you know where most of our tools and parts are? Have you found yourself helping out other volunteers? Consider becoming a Bike Repair Mentor. We'd like to have at least one mentor working under each of our canopies, supervising the projects at three other repair stands as needed.

Homework Heroes
Some of us just never get enough bike repair! No need to stop fixing even after our workday events are over. You can take projects home with you too! All you need to do is checkout the bikes that you take home and check them back in again when they are returned.

Logging Volunteer Off-Site Hours
Just as you sign in and log your hours when you volunteer at the shop, please log the volunteer hours you contribute off site. Whether you repair homework bikes, balance our books, answer donor emails, post articles to Facebook or maintain our website, tracking volunteer time helps us to show proper appreciation to our volunteers and can even help us secure funding as a non-profit. Log your hours at the SVBE Volunteer Sign-In form. You may log more than one day's worth of volunteering at a time.

Open Shop Days
Volunteers who volunteer with us 5 times or more in a 12-month period may attend our open shop days. These are workdays where experienced volunteers are welcome to bring their own bicycles to the shop and use Bicycle Exchange's tools to repair their own bikes. We continue to look for skilled mentors, so we hope such volunteers will find open shop days to be rewarding.
