FAQs

Why BAY-Peace Outside?

BAY-Peace Outside! meets every 3rd Sunday of the month from August 2026 through June 2027, exploring different trails throughout the Bay Area while creating intentional spaces to move our bodies, build relationships, reconnect with the land, and strengthen community.

• More than a hiking group, this is an opportunity to slow down, meet new people, and create meaningful connections across generations.
  
• Each gathering will include time for hiking, reflection, storytelling, and conversations connected to healing, culture, wellness, and our relationship with the land.
  
• Throughout the year, hikes may include conversations led by BAY-Peace youth leaders, staff, and community members, creating opportunities for intergenerational learning and shared experiences.
  

BAY-Peace Outside! is also a community fundraising initiative supporting BAY-Peace's youth leadership, healing justice, arts, and wellness programs. Our goal is to raise $12,500 to sustain accessible opportunities where young people can heal, build leadership skills, express themselves creatively, and transform their communities.

🥾Hike participation is always free.

Your RSVP gets you on the trail — and if you enjoy the experience, we invite you to help us keep building it through a tax-deductible contribution of any amount: https://www.baypeace.org/donate.html

Every gift helps us grow opportunities for youth healing, leadership, creativity, wellness, and connection.
