Do you want to be our next Executive Director?
After 10 years of dedicated and dutiful service, our executive director Adriana has decided to move on from her role at TCW. Although we are sad to see her journey end at TCW, this will begin a new chapter in The Common Wheel’s history book.
Are you interested in being a part of a well-established nonprofit and leading a diverse and passionate group of people? Are you enthusiastic about biking, people, and community engagement? Do you like to collaborate with other organizations for the common good of the community? You may be right to join our team!
Click the link to read more about Adriana’s departure and the Executive Director role. Applications open until September 2nd.
Join us for Drop-in Volunteer Night!
Drop-in Volunteer Night is back at the King Street Co-op & Donation Center! Join us every Friday from 6-8 PM as we work on children’s bikes for the Spring Bike Fling, break down scrap bikes, or work on adult bikes for our Bikes for All program. The best part…no experience is necessary! Wait, that’s not the best part. The best part is all the cool people you’ll meet while making a difference!
You must be:
~willing to have fun
~willing to get a little grimy and gritty
We hope you’ll join us each Friday for a whole lot of fun!
Donate Your Old Bike TODAY!
Do you have an old bike that is just longing for a new person to ride it once more? Consider donating it to us!
Your bike could be chosen by our next crop of Earn-a-Bike students, or it could wind up being a child’s very first bicycle at our annual Bike Fling. Quality bicycles can be refurbished by our staff to end up in the hands of an adult in need of essential transportation, or on our sales floor to inspire someone to ditch their car and choose the bicycle as their primary form of transportation.
Choose to make an impact by donating your bicycle today! While we prefer donations to be brought to our King Street Co-op and Donation Center, our staff can assist you at all three Common Wheel locations.
