Employment opportunities

Program Coordinator for the BIPOC Bike Adventure Grant Program

Picture
Bikepacking Roots is hiring a Program Coordinator to lead and help expand its BIPOC Bike Adventure Grant Program thanks to generous support from Salsa Cycles.
​
The BIPOC Bike Adventure Grant Program was created in 2020 to help reduce the barriers to bike adventure for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals. The program provides funding, in-kind assistance, and mentoring for recipients to pursue fun and empowering bicycle adventures and skill building of all kinds.

In 2021, the BIPOC Bike Adventure Grant Program received 96 applications and gave 13 grants to 20 recipients. The grants ranged from $1000 to $3300 and included in-kind equipment grants from gear manufacturers.

The Program Coordinator for 2022 will:
  • Develop the 2022 grantmaking timeline, application process, selection criteria, and Grant Review Panel.
  • Work with the Grant Review Panel to review the applications and select recipients.
  • Coordinate the 2022 grantmaking process, including communication, grant awards and gear delivery.
  • Coordinate virtual mentorship and community-building opportunities for the 2022 grant recipients.
  • Coordinate a virtual allyship training event for the bikepacking community.
  • Capture and elevate the 2022 grant recipients’ stories.
  • Solicit feedback from grant recipients on the program, its impact, and how it could be improved in the future.
  • Develop a vision to expand the program, and to serve BIPOC adventure cyclists beyond the grant recipients.
  • Ensure timely execution of the grantmaking process.
  • Communicate with Bikepacking Roots’ Executive Director and staff as needed.

Qualified applicants will have:
  • Professional and/or personal experience promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
  • Professional and/or personal experience in the BIPOC adventure cycling community.
  • Excellent organizational and time management skills. 
  • Strong interpersonal skills, including written and verbal communication.
  • Passionate about increasing opportunities and access for BIPOC adventure cyclists.

The Position:
  • Begins January 2022 and runs for the duration of the project in 2022, likely about nine months.
  • The position will require roughly 250 hours of work, an average of 5 hours per week, but it will require flexibility for more intense periods of work
  • This contract position pays $7,500 in monthly installments; it does not include any benefits.

To apply, please submit a cover letter and resume to ally@bikepackingroots.org by Friday, January 7th 2022.
