A call for volunteers, Financial support

Bay Area Action

BAA’s most vital assets are its volunteers. Issues are not addressed and progress is not made without the effort and devotion of the people who actively show their concern for the environment. You would be surprised how much you can contribute by committing just a few hours a week. Help is needed to staff the office and store (especially during daytime hours), conduct research, write articles, create illustrations, produce videos, coordinate events, promote BAA projects and programs, assist with Newsletter and Action Alert mailings, and distribute information. Join us in our efforts: call 321-1994.
