Community Services
Our youth don't just benefit from our programs–they also give back to the community!
*If you are an adult interested in volunteering with Phoenix, you can learn more about our volunteer opportunities on our volunteer page.
Give-a-Bike Program
Bicycling is more than just a sport; it is also a means of social justice. Providing access to a bicycle can have significant positive economic and health impacts for all.
The youth who refurbish the Give-a-Bikes learn about area non-profits/social service agencies who have clients who could benefit from receiving a bike and get to observe their hard work make a direct and positive impact on the lives of members of their community.
If you are a current Give-a-Bike partner, please submit requests for bike donations using this request form. If you aren’t a current partner and would like to explore a possible partnership, please contact Kyle Knutson at kyle@phoenixbikes.org.
Community Bike Safety Checks
Our trained youth mechanics don’t just use wrench at our shop; they also put their new skills to use out in the community. At bike safety checks, youth volunteers set up tools and bike stands in a parking lot or park and offer free maintenance for a targeted group of community members—anyone from young children at a learn-to-ride event to affordable housing residents with limited access to bike shop services. Our youth will check bikes for safety issues; make minor adjustments on brakes, shifting and tire pressure; and help neighbors roll away on a safe ride!
