Volunteer with the South Bend Bike Garage

The South Bend Bike Garage thrives because people in our community choose to get involved, share their skills, and help others keep rolling. Whether you’re an experienced mechanic, brand new to bikes, or simply excited about helping people, there’s a place for you here.

​

The Best Way to Get Started

The easiest and most effective way to volunteer is to stop by during our open hours:

​

Wednesdays, 5–8 PM
119 W Wayne St, South Bend

​

Come in, meet the team, see how the shop works, and jump in where you feel comfortable. You don’t need to be an expert, we’ll show you around, help you learn, and get you involved right away.

​

• Greeting visitors and supporting front-desk check-ins

• Organizing donated bikes and parts

• Helping with community events and Mobile Bike Garage visits
