OVERVIEW & PURPOSE
The Earn-a-Bike Program was created for youth who don’t have access or the economic means to purchase a bike. The Ogden Bicycle Collective gives them the opportunity to participate in the program where they volunteer and learn mechanical skills to repair a bike provided to them by the OBC. After the program is completed they will have a fully functioning bike to take home.
EDUCATION STANDARDS
- Twelve hours of volunteer work must be completed to earn a bike before taking it home
- Eight hours of volunteer work must be completed before picking out a bike
- The remaining 4 hours of volunteer work can be done doing maintenance on the bike to be earned
VOLUNTEER WORK
Volunteer work in the shop must be checked off by the Youth Program Coordinator, a total of 8 hours must be completed and recorded before a bike is chosen. Volunteer hours can be completed during Youth Open Shop Night, Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00 PM.
BIKE MAINTENANCE
After a bike is chosen, the remaining four hours of volunteer work will be mechanical work on the bike. The bike must be deemed safe to ride before it can be taken home. Our mechanics will assist with and oversee any repairs needed.
