   Ways You Can Help


10,000 youth outdoors! 

Dear Friends,

We hope you all are having a wonderful late winter! 

Many of you took advantage of your training and brought youth out as soon as the snow started to fall. With Winter in full swing, we are having a great time reading the trip reports and seeing the pictures coming back from the community! 

 

We had our own 'snow-venture' in February at our Snowshoe Training for youth workers.

In addition to our Spring Wilderness First Aid Course (this weekend in Hayward), we're trying something new and organizing a Games Workshop hosted by our program intern, Sequoia, and the Program Committee.

Speaking of interns, BAWT is looking for four new interns in Oakland, San Francisco, and the South Bay. See the end of this email for the listings.
