LAWT provides services to the adults who work with youth to lead their kids outdoors!
We're working on building up and maintaining the LAWT Gear Library, chock full of outdoor equipment. Tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, synthetic clothing, hiking boots, stoves, cooking gear, etc.
We'd love to outreach more, letting folks who work with young people know to use us as a resource.
If you have grant-writing skills, help us get support for our programs.

Description
Los Angeles Wilderness Training (LAWT) helps get kids outdoors by providing supports to adults who regularly work with youth. LAWT is a project of Earth Island Institute.
LAWT trains teachers, after school program staff, adult youth leader, and other adult youth workers how to lead their kids on camping and backpacking trips.
We also support these trips with free alumni access to equipment in our gear library. In LAWT’s gear library, we will have tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, clothes, boots, backpacks, stoves, etc.
There are no other organizations in LA County offering this service.
