Bay Area Green Tours creates interactive tours and experiences highlighting the sustainable economy in action to inspire and educate youth and adults to build a more enduring, resilient, and just future.

We're a grassroots operation reinventing ourselves by moving from in-person tours to virtual green tours. We are a 20-person volunteer-only organization for now, but we are building for the future by applying to grants and beginning outreach to corporations who want to sponsor our programs and/or buy virtual team building tours. We just redesigned our website and streamlined our operations in Salesforce with a committed, fun, and sharp team of interns and volunteers.

  • Contacting potential clients via email, social media, phone, or text to establish rapport and arrange meetings
  • Contact current clients and partners to develop opportunities
