Volunteer Day & Open House

Volunteer Day & Open House at REAP Climate Center
Wednesday, October 21, REAP Climate Center in Alameda is opening the gates for an afternoon of volunteer work, learning, and neighborly time outside.
This is the kind of event where you show up ready to move around a bit. The campus at 2133 Tynan Ave has a practical, community garden feel, with projects that can shift week to week. You might be watering, planting, building compost, helping with animals, or lending a hand on a light construction task.
The performers, if you want to call them that, are the volunteers themselves. People sharing tools, asking questions, hauling soil, figuring things out together. That is the rhythm here.
Volunteer time runs from 2 pm to 5 pm, then the group usually rolls into a Fireside Potluck. If you like meeting local folks without the small talk feeling forced, this is a good setting for it. Bring work clothes, a water bottle, and a little patience for whatever the day’s task list brings.
All ages are welcome, but everyone needs to sign the waiver before coming to campus. REAP also asks visitors to read the volunteer page and FAQ ahead of time, since the planned tasks are usually posted about a week before the event.
Details are listed through the event page, and you can learn more about the space at the REAP Climate Center listing.
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!
