Waterside Workshops

Every Community Open Shop, around 25 people come through our doors needing help getting their bikes safely back on the road. This program specifically helps our community get to work, school, and wherever else they need to go. Volunteer with Street Level Cycles this Saturday (or on a future Saturday!) from 12–6 PM and put your mechanic skills to work for your community.

Get started at https://watersideworkshops.org/volunteer or at the link in our bio.

THANK YOU, Waterside community!

Last Saturday’s Land & Sea Party was one for the books. We set out to raise $25,000 for our youth and community programs, and together we raised $25,621. Goal met!

To everyone who donated, sponsored, bid, gave to the auction, danced, and celebrated with us: THANK YOU. Every one of you made this night happen. And watching that sunset over our campus together? Pure magic.

A huge thank you to our sponsors and board, and to Erika Weissinger for her generous match!

And to the crew who made the magic happen:

Our staff, youth staff, and interns, who beautified the campus, led by the amazing Kati Bell, Ed.D.

Taraneh Arhamsadr, communications

Karen Bevels Custom Catering

Ian Patton and Betty Franks, bartenders

Rebecca Boblak, lighting and photo backdrop

James Boblak, sound

Steven and Jayden, our YouthWorks parking lot heroes

Nico Wright and Erica Priggen Wright, who came early, cleaned the Boatshop, and even got the ice!

Pilar Zuniga of Gorgeous and Green, for the beautiful flowers

Here’s to keeping our programs thriving. We couldn’t do it without you.

THANK YOU, Waterside community! 💙

Last Saturday’s Land & Sea Party was one for the books. We set out to raise $25,000 for our youth and community programs, and together we raised over $30,000!

To everyone who donated, sponsored, bid, gave to the auction, danced, celebrated, or simply showed up: you made this happen. And getting to watch that sunset over our campus with all of you? Pure magic.

Here’s to keeping our programs thriving. We couldn’t do it without you.

Peaceful moments in the Boatshop.

Oh, what a night at the Waterside Workshops Land & Sea Party!

We ate, drank, laughed, and enjoyed live music with our incredible community, and together we raised almost $21,000 for our youth programs.

We’re so close to our $25,000 goal, and we have until 6 pm tomorrow to get there. Here’s how you can help:

Donate: Our beloved outgoing board member Erika Weissinger is giving $1,000. Match her gift or give what feels meaningful to you.

Cheers to Erika Weissinger!

After many years of dedicated service on the Waterside Workshops Board of Directors, Erika is stepping down, and we could not be more grateful. From growing our vision to championing the young people who come through our doors every day, her fingerprints are all over who Waterside is today.

Erika: thank you for showing up, year after year, with your heart wide open. Waterside is stronger because of you.

This isn’t goodbye. It’s just a change in how we stay connected. We’re excited to celebrate you at this weekend’s Land & Sea party and to see you at future community gatherings!

With so much love and gratitude,
The Waterside Workshops Family
