Program interns play an active and high-impact role in our outdoor gear lending libraries. Interns can expect to learn how to repair and clean gear, manage inventory, and use all sorts of outdoor equipment.

Development Interns work with accounting, work with our database and help organize fundraising events, working with BAWT’s Director of Development and members of the Development Committee.

Marketing Interns help with social media, marketing material production, help organize events and campaigns, and work closely with the volunteer Art Director, the Marketing Committee and BAWT’s Executive Director. 

Join us on the second Wednesday of the month for Discovery Session where those interested in BAWT come to find out more about our organization and ways to get involved. Meet and connect with like-minded folks and stay for a volunteer project, including repairing gear, helping us spread the word about BAWT through mail campaigns, and other essential (and fun!) odd jobs. Please RSVP before coming. Food is provided.

Be a part of the movement for equity and access to the outdoors for youth of color and of low-income backgrounds. Bay Area Wilderness Training is seeking passionate and energetic people with resources and connections to serve on its Board of Advisors. This is an opportunity for professional growth, leadership development, community engagement, and service.  Involvement at the board level gives you a bigger picture perspective on BAWT as an organization and offers significant opportunities for personal and professional expansion. BAWT is entering a significant period of strategic impact and capacity building so we need leaders like you to help guide us!.

BAWT has a range of volunteer-driven committees including a Fundraising Committee (fundraising events, as well as annual strategy and tracking), Operations Committee (marketing, website, IT and software conversions, facilities and operational planning) and Community Engagement Committee (board recruiting, ambassador events, corporate giving, volunteerism and community surveys).  Our committees usually meet once a month and tackle important, strategic decisions.
