Trenton Boys And Girls Club Bike Exchange

Agency Details:

We are just starting our second season! Our non-profit accepts donations of used children and adult bicycles, refurbishes them, and resells them at a discounted cost at a storefront in Ewing NJ. All the proceeds go to the Trenton Boys and Girls Club for their after-school programs.

Description:
Presently, we are open on Thursday evenings 5-8 pm and on Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm. Most of our volunteers are cyclists from the Princeton Freewheelers bike club but we will gladly train volunteers to be sales people, bike mechanics, bike assistants, and bike drive coordinators. The crew is great fun to work with!!

History:
Last year, we sold over 900 bicycles, and grossed over $45,000 for the Trenton Boys and Girls Club. They use the $$ for their summer camps and to provide scholarships for their after-school programs.

Providing appropriate training and professional development to the organizations' leaders and staff, offering workshops and other resources to help them effectively recruit, utilize, retain, and recognize volunteers
Partnering with nonprofits, foundations, corporations, government agencies/officials, and other public and private entities to support initiatives and efforts that match our mission and contribute to the public good.
