There are many ways to help BAWT.
 

Discover! Attend a Discovery Session

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. Join us at our new Oakland office, bring your friends, and help us grow the BAWT community.

Connect! Join us every third Wednesday for Volunteer Night

Every month the BAWT community gathers for pizza, beer, and volunteer projects that help us continue to get youth outdoors. Volunteer Nights are a great way to stay involved with BAWT and help with the behind-the-scenes work that makes our mission possible.

ListServe

The BAWT listserve (Yahoo Group) is host to about 600 people. All are outdoor enthusiasts, most are youth workers. All members can post, and its a great place to post requests for volunteers on your trips. There are also occasional job listings, outdoor course opportunities of all sorts, and of course, a measured amount of BAWT news!
Average traffic: about 15 postings per month.
