Bay Area Wilderness Training (BAWT) creates opportunities for underserved Bay Area youth to experience wilderness firsthand and have powerful environmental education experiences. The Authority contributed funds to help BAWT continue to expand services in Santa Clara County by conducting more outdoor leadership training courses, including full scholarships for South Bay focused leaders. Through this grant, BAWT continued expansion of outdoor equipment lending and trip support services. This project increased the number of Santa Clara County outdoor trips for diverse youth and helped launch a legacy that provides youth of color and low-income youth in the South Bay with outdoor experiences.
