How do you want to be involved?
Volunteer with us
Oaks and Spokes started in 2012 as an all volunteer run organization. A group of people came together because they shared an interest in safer streets for everyone. Today, the organization is guided by an 11-member all volunteer Board of Directors.
We host events regularly that rely on volunteer support to be successful. From our Learn to Ride a bike event, to repairing gently used bikes we’ve got a lot going on!
Fix, teach, give
Raleigh Community Kickstnad
Donate your bikes
The Raleigh Community Kickstand is an all-volunteer, non-profit community bicycle cooperative established in 2017. They rebuild your old bicycles and collect spare parts for repairs to make sure everyone in the community has the ability to get where they need to go. They accept fully intact, repairable adult bicycles (24″ tires or larger). Their riders traverse a variety of terrains and prefer hybrid bikes or mountain bikes. They also accept components, tools, lights, locks, and pretty much anything else that is bike related.Donate your time
The Raleigh Community Kickstand is entirely volunteer operated. Without people like you, they would not be able to make these services available. They are always looking for additional volunteers to help repair bikes and manage administrative tasks. There are no prior skills required; they will teach you everything you need to know! Volunteering with RCK is a great way to give back to the community and learn more about bicycle maintenance.Donate your resources
If you work for an organization or company that has grant funding opportunities or discount programs for charity-based non-profits, please reach out. RCK is always in need of funding for consumable parts such as tires, tubes, brake pads, etc. Since the do not have a brick and mortar establishment, they are always in need of public locations to host pop-up repair events or maintenance workshops. If you operate a space and are interested in hosting a pop-up event for the community, please contact them. Spaces can be indoor or outdoor and should be easily accessible via foot, bicycle, or public transportation. Raleigh Community Kickstand will provide stands and tools. If you are interested in volunteering, donating, or getting involved in any capacity, please email raleighcommunitykickstand (at) gmail.com.
