Los Angeles Wilderness Training (LAWT) made it their mission to provide Los Angeles youth workers with professional training and outdoor equipment so that they and the youth they served could explore the power and beauty of California’s wilderness. LAWT trained adults who worked with youth in how to lead their kids on camping and backpacking trips. The organization offered frontcountry and wilderness leadership training programs and maintained an extensive lending library of outdoor gear such as tents, backpacks, boots, and outerwear.
