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.

volunteer OPPORTUNITIES
There are ALWAYS volunteer opportunities available. Our volunteers do everything from general office duties, IT, design, leading training courses to maintaining gear. Volunteers staff our events and tables, stuff our envelopes, and help us develop our marketing, fundraising and training programs. Contact us, we’ll be sure to find a use for your skills!
We greatly appreciate all the support our volunteers give us. Volunteering with BAWT can be one-time or ongoing and completely depends on your schedule. There are opportunities to volunteer at Oakland and South Bay / Milpitas.
