Volunteer Day & Open House

A Wednesday afternoon for getting your hands dirty in Alameda

This Wednesday, Dec. 2, REAP Climate Center opens its campus at 2133 Tynan Ave for an afternoon of volunteer work, learning, and community time. The volunteer window runs from 2 pm to about 5 pm, with a fireside potluck following after.

REAP has the feel of a working community space, with garden beds, compost, animals, tools, and people moving around with a purpose. The tasks can change week to week, but they may include watering, planting, compost building, animal care, light fabrication, or construction work.

There is no stage lineup here. The “performers” are the neighbors, gardeners, builders, and curious first timers who show up ready to help. That is part of the charm. You can learn by doing, meet people who care about climate work in a practical way, and leave with a better sense of what happens on the site.

All ages are welcome, but everyone needs to sign the waiver before arriving. REAP also asks volunteers to read the volunteer page and FAQ ahead of time so the afternoon runs smoothly.

Bring clothes you can work in, a little patience, and something to share if you are staying for the potluck. You can find the event info here, and learn more about the venue here.

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!
