Based on a Feasibility Study completed in late 2009, the following have been identified as priorities for potential projects:
•Greenway enhancement – engage neighbors, businesses, and young people in creating a vision and bringing it to life via a variety of improvement projects
•Youth stewardship, education and employment – establish a local Green Team to engage, train, and employ young people in environmental education, projects, training, and employment
•Urban forestry and greening – conduct a citywide inventory of potential sites for tree-planting, organize neighborhood planting parties, help establish an Urban Forest Advisory Council, and/or develop a local nursery to grow seedlings for local use
•Baxter Creek restoration and improvement – help to “daylight” sections of the creek along the eastern end of the Greenway
•Miraflores area planning and improvement – host community planning workshops in conjunction with planned development, help identify siting and use of historic buildings and greenhouses, and assist with creek restoration
•Park improvements – facilitate neighborhood involvement in planning for Greenway improvements, and work to create safe passages for young people between school and community settings
•Urban agriculture – fully develop the school and community gardens already established on the Greenway and helping to replicate these efforts in other locations
•Native plantings – incorporate the planting of native plant species in creek, park, and other outdoor improvement projects.The selection of actual projects will be determined by community interest, city priorities, partnerships, and funding opportunities. Projects along the Greenway will serve as models for expanding into the larger community over time. To identify and complete projects, GWR will engage and partner with community residents, youth agencies, the City of Richmond, businesses, and other non-profits. We will develop not only volunteer.

Along with labor and community partners, EBASE is leading the Revive Oakland! Campaign for Real Jobs and Healthy Communities, which aims to secure quality jobs for Oaklanders from the massive Army Base redevelopment.

Working with base-building partners to support their members leadership development, including prepping spokespeople, translating policy into popular education materials and helping with trainings as needed.
Developing and implementing tactics, including direct actions, media, letter writing, and lobby delegations.
Supporting the overall work of EBASE as an organization, including participating in staff meetings and trainings, and helping with major program and/or fundraising events as needed.
Possible supervision of a summer organizing intern.
