Membership Interns
Bike East Bay seeks upbeat Membership Interns to help with the day-to-day tasks of running a small non-profit and corresponding with our 4000+ members. You will assist at Bike East Bay’s office during weekly project days on tasks ranging from stuffing envelopes to folding t-shirts, to preparing for major events like Bike To Work Day and PedalFest. Interns who have specific interests and skills have the opportunity and are encouraged to take on special projects with Bike East Bay staff.
There are two options for time and commitment: Membership Interns choose a day of the week to volunteer between 2-5 hours at Bike East Bay, usually in the office and sometimes in the field. We ask that you commit to either:
- One Project Day a week for a 10 week period, or,
- One or more Project Day per month over 6 months (10 days total)
Membership Interns will receive a one-year Bike East Bay membership and a letter of reference at the end of your internship.
This position is perfect for high school or college students seeking work experience, or anyone who would like to assist with Bike East Bay’s day-to-day operations. You’ll get an inside look at working in our close-knit and upbeat headquarters where we’re always brewing up great plans for better biking.
The position will report to Membership Manager Ginger Jui and work closely with Membership Assistant Rachel Jacobson.

Bike East Bay (formerly the East Bay Bicycle Coalition) was established in 1972 to promote the interests of bicyclists. Our first campaign was to gain bicycle access to the new BART transit system of the early 1970’s. Since then, our 4000+ member organization has grown and includes local chapters and organizations throughout the East Bay. In addition to advocating for better bicycling conditions, Bike East Bay also coordinates the annual Bike to Work Day promotion in the East Bay, has a successful bicycle safety program, supports the Cycles of Change youth bicycle after school program, and along with Transform coordinates the Bay Area’s Safe Routes to Transit Program.
