We’re hiring! Join the 2025 Bike People Community Outreach Team!

The Pittsburgh Bike People are Community Outreach Representatives created to form a unique collaboration between Bike Share Pittsburgh (POGOH) and BikePGH. The Pittsburgh Bike People will be a bridge between the organizations and Pittsburgh’s many communities with a goal of breaking down barriers to bicycling and provide local resources to persons regardless of where they ride, what they ride, and where they’re at on their bicycling journey. The Bike People will serve as the first point of contact for community members at in-person events whose primary purpose is to answer questions & share information, to get folks on bikes, and get those folks who are already biking, biking more!

We are seeking friendly faces to talk with the public about biking and walking in Pittsburgh, to provide local bicycling resources and education, to share information about POGOH & BikePGH events and programming, and encourage membership sign-ups and renewals for both POGOH and BikePGH. Bicycling Outreach Associates will also work in collaboration with full-time staff from both organizations on outreach efforts and event execution, including setup and tear down, at large-scale events such as Le Tour de Donut, Bike to Work Day, OpenStreetsPGH, PedalPGH, End of Summer Roll Up, and Bike or Treat.

BikePGH & POGOH are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion not only in how we shape our strategic goals and organizational work but who we employ on our staff and the volunteers on our board of directors. In recruiting for our organization, we welcome the life experiences that are shaped in part by, education, race, color, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, disability, age, languages spoken, or veteran’s status.
