Volunteer Day & Open House
October 18, 2026 5:00 pm
Sunday at REAP Climate Center in Alameda
REAP Climate Center opens its Alameda campus on Sunday, October 18, for a full day of volunteering, learning, and getting your hands a little dirty.
The place has a working campus feel, with gardens, compost, projects in progress, and people moving around with a purpose. It is the kind of East Bay spot where you might show up to water plants, help with animal care, build compost, or pitch in on a small construction task. The exact work can change, which is part of the charm.
The cast for the day is simple: neighbors with gloves, REAP staff and volunteers guiding the work, and anyone curious about regenerative practices. No special background is needed. Kids, adults, first timers, and regulars are all welcome.
The day starts at 10 am with new volunteer orientation. The first volunteer session runs from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, followed by a bring your own lunch hang from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The second session runs from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, then the campus winds down with cleanup until sunset.
This is a good fit if you want to meet local people, learn by doing, and spend a Sunday outside in Alameda with a clear task in front of you. Bring lunch, wear clothes that can handle dirt, and arrive ready to help where needed.
Before you go, REAP asks all volunteers to fill out the online waiver. You can find event details and links here: Volunteer Day and Open House details.
REAP Climate Center is at 2133 Tynan Ave, Alameda.
