Come meet BAWT!

Discovery Sessions

Discovery Sessions are informational and inspirational orientations to BAWT. They are a great way to find out more about what we do, get a tour of our gear room, and find out how to get involved.

Meet and connect with like-minded folks and tackle important projects that help get kids outdoors.  Projects include repairing gear, helping us spread the word about BAWT through mail campaigns, and other essential (and fun!) odd jobs.

Join us at our Oakland office, bring your friends, and help us grow the BAWT community. Session starts with a short informational orientation to our work, and a tour of the gear library. The evening continues with an opportunity to volunteer and help out!

  • 6:00pm Pizza and beverages
  • 6:30-7:30 Discovery Session for new folks
  • 7:30-8:30 Volunteer Night continues (optional)

The BAWT community thrives on volunteers, and when you come to our Discovery Session and Volunteer Nights, you’ll stay in the loop.
