Bay Area Wilderness Training (BAWT) Mission is to create opportunities for urban
youth to experience wilderness first hand. BAWT exists as a vital, comprehensive and ongoing
source of support to agencies that lead youth wilderness trips. We believe that urban youth,
once exposed to wilderness, have a broadened sense of themselves, each other, and the world
around them. BAWT extends it services to the eight counties of the San Francisco Bay Area.
We hope other organizations will take this vision to the rest of the country and the larger
world. Address: 2301 Broadway, Suite B, Oakland CA 94612 Voice: (510) 452-

Bay Area Women in Black Bay Area Women in Black are Jews and allies in the United
States who stand against militaristic and fundamentalist leadership in all countries, including
our own. We are committed to nonviolent resistance against injustice, believing that all people
have the right to security, home, education, justice and freedom. We are part of the
international movement of Women in Black, a transnational network of feminist activists
which includes women of many ethnic and national backgrounds who cooperate across these
and other differences. Our international solidarity is an expression of the political decision to
attempt to create a moral and ethical way to live our interconnected lives.
