Join the Open Roads Team!

Adding new staff to our team is always an exciting process.

We have so many weekly programs that take place each summer, so we usually find ourselves recruiting additional part-time team members this time of year. We are hiring for both a Social Skills Instructor and a Bike Mechanic Instructor! Most of our staff team is cross-trained and able to play both roles in a program, but most new hires step into one role to start off. We can't wait to grow our team by two! Both positions will remain open until filled. Priority will be given to applications received by May 2, 2018. See both job descriptions and applications here:

Social Skills Instructor

Bike Mechanic Instructor

Ideal Candidates:

• Have some experience (and enjoy) working with young people ages 6-18
• Have excellent problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making skills

The bottom line is this- we are committed to facilitating empowering youth bike programs in Kalamazoo that help young people become more self-sufficient and successful. If you think you can teach some serious skills, have some serious fun, and be committed to giving time and energy to Open Roads and the students we work with, please submit an application. We are excited to meet you!
