Discov​ery Session

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.

Join an Advisory Board

Be a part of the movement for equity and access to the outdoors for marginalized youth. Bay Area Wilderness Training is seeking passionate and energetic people with resources and connections to serve on its Advisory Council. 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!.

Join a Comittee

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.
