Volunteer Day & Open House
December 27, 2026 6:00 pm
Volunteer Day and Open House at REAP Climate Center
Alameda has a good Sunday plan for anyone who wants to get outside, meet neighbors, and do something useful with their hands.
REAP Climate Center opens its campus at 10 am on Sunday, December 27, with volunteer sessions through the afternoon. The place has a practical, welcoming feel, with people moving between garden tasks, compost work, animal care, planting, watering, and the kind of small projects that keep a living site running.
This is a good fit if you like learning by doing. You do not need to arrive as an expert. Kids, adults, first timers, and regular volunteers are all welcome. The main crew here is made up of REAP staff, returning volunteers, curious locals, and folks who are happy to share what they know.
The day starts with new volunteer orientation at 10 am. The first work 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. A second session runs from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, then the day winds down with cleanup until sunset.
Wear clothes that can get dirty, bring lunch if you plan to stay through the middle of the day, and take a look at the volunteer info before heading over. Everyone needs to sign the waiver before coming to campus.
REAP Climate Center is at 2133 Tynan Ave in Alameda.</p
