About The Original Scraper Bike Team
Founded in 2005, the Original Scraper Bike Team uses the bicycle as a tool to foster personal and community development by capturing creativity and providing mobility for at-risk youth living in East and West Oakland. We run community bicycle art and ridership programs, support youth development, and run school based programs teaching bicycle riding and repair. The Scraper Bike Team gives kids a safe outlet and the support they need to make better choices and develop the skills and relationships they will need to achieve success in life.
In 2016 the Scraper Bike Team opened their first neighborhood bike repair facility. Called “The Shed,” it operates out of a modified cargo container where youth learn to repair and decorate bikes the Scraper way, and participate in group rides and community events.
The Scraper Bike team is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the Board of Directors and the small staff has set up organizational systems but we are looking for someone to improve them and manage the operation of the organization. The Operations Manager will be instrumental in allowing the Board of Directors and program staff to focus on top-notch, community-rooted programs.
