Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I/my child would like to register for the afterschool program. Where do we get the forms?

Q: How do I receive a bicycle?

A: By volunteering to repair a bicycle for someone else, spend 5 hours volunteering in the shop, or donating $10 to the Nasson Bike Center. This allows you to build a bike for yourself.

A: Call us at 324-5657 to set up a volunteer interview and fill out a volunteer application. Volunteer applications are available at Nasson Community Center or can be printed from the link above.

Q: How much time do I have to commit to volunteer?

A: That depends. If you wish to volunteer in our afterschool program mentoring youth, you may volunteer on a drop-in basis any time between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.,on a Friday afternoon, with no minimum commitment. However, if you wish to repair a bicycle to donate, this may require several sessions depending on the condition of the bicycle. The satisfaction of completing a bicycle is worth it!

Q: How do I make a tax-deductible donation to the program?

A: Please make a check out to Nasson Community Center and write “bikes” in the memo line. We will mail you a signed donation receipt in addition to our gratitude.
