Part-Time Marketing Coordinator: North Bay

****About Sports Basement****

Since 1998, Sports Basement has been more than a sporting goods store - we're a community hub offering the best brands at Basement prices, with giving back baked into our DNA. What started as a weekend-only shop in a San Francisco warehouse has grown into multiple fully stocked Bay Area locations, several newly opened Southern California stores, in-house snow and bike shops, a thriving rentals program, and a robust e-commerce website at [sportsbasement.com](http://sportsbasement.com/). We've come a long way, and we couldn't be prouder of the company we've become.

****Our Mission****

We're here to help our communities shine a little brighter, live a little greener, and make the outdoors more fun and accessible for everyone. Because your gear is more than just stuff, and we're more than just a store.

* Volunteer vs. Donate
* Proximity vs Productivity
* O.K. is not O.K.

* YES! vs. NO
* Safety before speed
