Administrative Clusters

The Bike Kitchen is an all-volunteer grass roots organization. In addition to all of the bike repair tasks that are our major focus, volunteers handle the various administrative tasks that arise, such as ordering supplies, holding meetings, counting the money, managing the email stream, interacting with entities like the IRS, wrangling patron information, keeping a staff calendar, etc. Over the years, some administrative structures have begun forming. We've arrived at a time when it makes sense to formalize these structures to help make them more transparent and easier to get involved with. Let's start by giving the structures a name: clusters. Clusters are groups of concentrated volunteer energy that focus on certain tasks.

• Financial Cluster
• Information Technology Cluster
• Operations Cluster
• Volunteer Coordination Cluster
