Bicycle Exchange has opened two paid staff positions to work with its hundreds of volunteers. The vast majority of our work repairing bicycles to donate, holding community bicycling events and working with external partners is done by our volunteers. However a few full-time and part-time staff members work with the volunteers to support them and make sure all necessary tasks get done. We're looking for applicants for part-time positions in volunteer coordination and sales. Read on to learn more about these positions and how to apply.
