BIKE SERVICE CORP

The volunteer Bike Service Corp (BSC) provides weekly opportunities for youth (age 12+) and adults to come together to engage in service projects and build community throughout the Greater Cleveland area.  BSC volunteers work with community partners (individuals, organizations, government, schools, and businesses) to identify and meet needs in the community.

One hour of homework is followed by departure on bicycles to engage in service projects from 3-5 p.m.  The last (coming soon) of every month, Service Corp volunteers meet at 1 p.m. at (coming soon) to engage in an afternoon of service.
