Bay Area Wilderness Training, part 2

[Steve]

[Wildebeat.net] This outings program takes us on a Wilderness Leadership Training course offered by the non-profit group, Bay Area Wilderness Training (BAWT). This part 2 of 2 is a follow-up to our original program on ethnic diversity among wilderness users.
Steve meets a diverse group of teachers, counselors, and other youth workers on the trail just outside of Yosemite National Park. He talks to:

• Roger Miller, executive director of BAWT.
• Hector Nuño, a volunteer youth counselor from San Jose, California.
• Judy Kuang, a youth coordinator for the Chinatown Community Development Center in San Francisco.
• Katie and Kellie, course participants.
• We also hear the entire class sing.

BAWT's Wilderness Leadership Training is a program to take youth development professionals out on a five-day backpacking trip in California's Sierra, and teach them all the skills that they need to take their at-risk and under-privileged youth out on life-affirming wilderness adventures.
You can help BAWT with their work by participating in Climbing for Kids. A program that provides you gear and gets you up a major mountain in exchange for your fund-raising assistance.
