Courtesy: Street Level CyclesWaterside Workshops, a nonprofit based in Berkeley’s Aquatic Park that teaches community members boatbuilding and bike repair skills, is facing significant financial headwinds.
Hours have been curtailed this year at the 18-year-old organization’s Street Level Cycles program as four staff members, one full-time, three part-time, have been laid off.
Street Level Cycles refurbishes and sells over 1,000 bikes annually, and gives away more than 100 to community members in need.
And while it will continue to apply for grants, Waterside is also looking to diversify its funding streams, including “bolstering” its corporate sponsorships, Grove said.
