FUN EXERCISE - ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION - VOLUNTEER HOURS - COMMUNICATION & DISCUSSIONS
Green Trek Presentation
- One of our oldest and yet most underrated programs
- Green Trek was born in 2021 out of the boredom of pandemic isolation and became a whole lot more
- Every Saturday, weather permitted,
– We collect trash across 15+ trails throughout the Bay Area, with an emphasis on East Bay parks in recent years
– It encourages everyone to ditch their screens and engage in healthy exercise while conserve the environment at the same time
– Volunteers can accumulate service hours towards volunteer awards at a rapid rate
– The program is the perfect venue for teenagers and parents to communicate with each other, and has become the unofficial organizational forum mechanism. All but two FUN Youth programs were born out the discussions song the trails of Green Trek

An Congressional Award Expedition Event

Camping 101 – A FUN Youth Congressional Award Expedition Event ( OPEN TO PUBLIC )
In response to the extended pause of our main volunteer service program (PVSA) since 2019, FUN Youth will expand our support for members’ Congressional Award applications starting July 2026.
FUN Youth has supported members’ Congressional Award applications for years. Our programs already cover nearly all required components – except the Expedition section. Beginning with the upcoming Camping 101 event on July 25 (2 days / 1 night @ Coyote Hills Regional Park, classified under Green Trek ), FUN Youth will start offering expedition programs to complete our Congressional Award puzzle.
We will explain this development through a Zoom meeting on Sunday, July 12 at 8 PM.
