Volunteer Day & Open House
September 27, 2026 5:00 pm
Volunteer Day & Open House at REAP Climate Center
This Sunday in Alameda, REAP Climate Center opens its campus for a full day of volunteer work, learning, lunch, and a little end of day cleanup before sunset.
The day starts at 10:00 am with new volunteer orientation, followed by a morning work session from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Bring your own lunch if you want to hang from 12:30 to 1:30 pm, then stick around for the afternoon session from 1:30 to 3:30 pm. After that, folks wind down and help tidy up.
REAP has that practical East Bay energy where people show up in work clothes, ask questions, and learn by doing. Depending on what the campus needs that week, you might help with watering, planting, compost, animal care, light building, or bigger projects. Some people arrive with experience. Some are just curious. Both fit in here.
About performers: this one is centered on hands on work rather than a stage lineup. The people leading the day are the REAP crew and regular volunteers, with neighbors, families, and new faces joining in.
If you have been wanting a simple way to get involved in local climate work, this is a good place to start. You can learn a skill, meet people who care about the same things, and spend a Sunday outside doing something useful.
REAP asks everyone to fill out the online waiver before coming to campus, including kids and adults. You can read the volunteer info and sign up through the event page here: event details.
