JOIN US!

Board members: If you support the Path Wanderers’ work, want a rewarding community service experience, and like working with fun, energetic people, you may enjoy serving on our board of directors. We meet once a month and have a variety of activities with which to get involved. The time commitment is about 4 to 6 hours a month and the board term is two years, with option to renew one time. Please get in touch if you’re interested in joining the board. We’d love to meet and tell you more about volunteering on our board.

BPWA booth volunteers: We have a sales and information booth at the Solano Stroll, the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (BAHA) Annual House Tour, and the City of Berkeley Preparedness Fair. We talk about the paths, and sell our maps, t-shirts, books, and other items. This is a great opportunity to work with others who love the paths and educate the public about this unique city resource. Contact us at info@berkeleypaths.org.

Map sales: If you love the Berkeley Pathways map and think you can convince others of its value, we want your help. We’d love to have more stores that will carry the map as well as to improve our publicity for it. The map helps people discover the paths, and map sales support our path building and path maintenance activities. Local bookstores have been our best customers, but we’d love to expand our markets. Contact us at maps@berkeleypaths.org if you have suggestions for, or contacts in, local stores or organizations that might sell our maps.

Walk leaders: Do you have a favorite walk on the pathways in Berkeley? If so, maybe you’d like to share it with others as a Path Wanderers walk leader. We sponsor two or more free walks per month of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty. We do history, cardio, leisurely, dog-friendly, local or Bay Area-wide walks! Let us know if you are interested in leading a walk and our walk coordinators will help you through the process. Get in touch at walks@berkeleypaths.org.

Path maintenance: We are always looking for people to help maintain paths. Feel the rewards of what a group can accomplish in under 2 hours; the before and after are incredible! It feels wonderful to use your muscles to do a bit of community service. Check the Upcoming Events page for upcoming dates and then send an email to path.maintenance@berkeleypaths.org to get more information.

Path building: Our intrepid group of path builders have been completing and repairing paths since the founding of BPWA. For more information and to get involved, see Path Building.
