Overview
Bay Area Wilderness Training, a program fiscally sponsored by Earth Island, provides low-income, at-risk urban youth with the skills and resources necessary to expose them to camping and wilderness experiences. They work with youth workers and teachers in after-school programs, school districts, community centers and a wide array of social service agencies to reach youth from different neighborhoods, and cultural and economic backgrounds. Their programs would get 7,000 youth outdoors. The trainings offered to adults from youth-serving organizations and schools include a five-day Wilderness Leadership Training course; Frontcountry Leadership Training program; and Camping at the Presidio program.
