Editor’s note: Olivia has been volunteering at Back Alley Bikes for years and also worked at the Osborn Earn-a-Bike program last summer. She is pretty awesome and we think she is worth a vote as she pursues her dream job.
Hey Everybody:
It’s not very often that we do posts on this site that are totally not about bikes, but I think this one is worth it.

My name is Olivia Dobbs and I’ve been at the Hub/Back Alley Bikes as a volunteer and Collective member for about two years. Maybe cliche to say, but they’ve been some of my favorite years. And now I can’t really believe it, but I’m about to graduate from college this May. I’m not going off to more school; in fact, following graduation I have to go out and find a Big Kid job somewhere in Detroit. So scary! But, I feel really lucky because I’ve found what I think is my dream job, and I’m already in Phase 3 of the application process!

Here’s where I need you: Please, if you have a minute (literally) can you follow the link, watch the video, and vote for me? This week is the community vote and if I make it past that, I move on to interviews!

The job is a year-long fellowship called Challenge Detroit, where I work with a company part of the time, and collaborate on community projects meant to help Detroit the rest of the time. This is exactly what I want to do! So, if you want to help me get an amazing job and some amazing experiences, give me a vote! I really appreciate your help, every single vote counts!

Olivia
