Volunteer Day & Open House

A hands on Wednesday at REAP Climate Center in Alameda

If your Wednesday afternoon could use some dirt under the nails, REAP Climate Center is opening the gate on September 9 from 2 pm to 6 pm at 2133 Tynan Ave in Alameda.

This is a volunteer afternoon with a neighborly feel. Expect garden beds, tools, compost, plants, animals, and people who are there to help things grow. The work can change week to week, but it may include watering, planting, compost building, animal care, light building projects, or bigger construction tasks.

There are no stage performers here. The people making it happen are the volunteers, the regular REAP crew, and anyone willing to show up, learn, and lend a hand. That is part of the charm. You can come with experience, or just come curious.

The campus has that Alameda edge of practical and relaxed. It feels like a place where conversations happen while someone is hauling soil or checking on a garden bed. After the volunteer time, the group usually shifts into a Fireside Potluck, which gives the afternoon a nice community ending.

Before you go, read the volunteer info and FAQ at reapcenter.org/volunteering. Everyone taking part needs to sign the waiver first, including kids. You can find that at reapcenter.org/waiver.

If you have been meaning to connect with a local climate project in the East Bay, this is an easy way to start. Wear clothes that can get dirty, bring water, and be ready to pitch in.

Regular Open House & Volunteer Days

Wednesdays 2 pm to 5pm.

Come volunteer at REAP Climate Center! Come by, lend a hand, and join our community of passionate doers. We usually work until 5pm and then transition to our Fireside Potluck!

Before arriving, please read through our volunteer page and FAQ http://reapcenter.org/volunteering , and sign our online waiver. All volunteering participants of all ages are required to sign the waiver before coming to campus.

We do our best to update this volunteer page one week before the event to describe what tasks we have planned. Some possibilities include: watering, planting, compost building, animal maintenance, light construction or fabrication, and heavy construction.

One thing we ask prior to visiting is filling out our WAIVER https://reapcenter.org/waiver .

Hope to see you here and learn together!
