Yewah, graduated work study.
Not sure about grandfathering into the new scheme.
If it's a coop, they have a say and a vote, but not sure paid staff/ exec Dir will agree.
I prefer the Linus model to the Gates model. ( WiFi while traveling example , forgot the name, find box, Ia fontella )
Where it gets tricky is that kids go to shop to learn to make money, to get a job, pass school/ honors/ etc.
Volunteers go to give back, get discounts ( wholesale ordering from catalogs help, imo )
But the struggle continues, ask Marx..

Volunteers should volunteer so many hours to provide for their yearly membership dues.
Times change

In an attempt to change that, we have just recently changed our membership scheme away from volunteer hours for membership to paid memberships. We're only charging $30/year (and they get a t-shirt). And we're getting lots of new members. But some of the guys who have been around for 3 or 4 years were previously told that they had membership for life due to their many volunteer hours.I don't want to discount what they've done for our shop in the past. But I am also attempting to change some of the culture of our shop, a culture that had become a bit of a boys' club where the old guys got to do exciting stuff like fix bikes and new members got to sort small parts.Any thoughts these free "members for life"?sylvia crumRevolutions Bicycle CoOpMemphis, TN
