Sponsor an Event!
Shifting Gears hosts several events throughout the year and we would love to have you as a Sponsor! Help support our community events as we raise money for our mission. Wild Women Week culminates on International Woman’s Day, March 8th each year. Bellingham Bike Swap occurs in early June and has over 800 participants. Sippin’ on Cider Festival celebrates the changing of the seasons and occurs in October each year. Get involved in the only Cider Festival in Bellingham.
Volunteer!
There are several ways to volunteer in support of Shifting Gears. We always have a need for volunteers that help us during our events (set up and tear down, answer questions, help with sales, etc.) and our “micro-events” like tabling during a mini fund-raiser.
We also have a need for program volunteers that help lead and assist with our programs. We offer training for volunteer leaders, but it always helps if you come with a base of experience to call upon. If you would like to be considered for a program leader, or program assistant please let us know.
