Volunteer Day & Open House
November 22, 2026 6:00 pm
Volunteer Day & Open House at REAP Climate Center
Alameda has a good one for anyone who likes being outside, learning by doing, and meeting people who care about the land around them.
REAP Climate Center opens its campus on Sunday, November 22, starting at 10 am. The day is built around volunteer sessions, with time to eat lunch, talk, and wind down before sunset.
The setting is casual and active. Expect garden beds, compost work, planting, watering, animal care, and other campus projects depending on what needs attention that week. Some jobs may be light. Some may ask for a little more muscle. Either way, the mood is practical and welcoming.
The people leading the day are the real draw here. You will be around growers, builders, climate minded neighbors, and folks who are happy to teach as they work. No experience is needed, and all ages are welcome.
The schedule starts with new volunteer orientation at 10 am, followed by a morning work session from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Bring your own lunch for the midday hang from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The afternoon session runs from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, then cleanup and wind down continue until sunset.
Before you go, fill out the required waiver and read the volunteer info so you know what to bring and what to expect.
