| Description |
We need enthusiastic and responsible adult volunteers to join us in supervising our outdoor environmental education activities.

As a volunteer, you'll have the rewarding opportunity to work alongside youth K-12, guiding them through various tasks and helping them develop a deeper appreciation for nature. Volunteer shifts typically run from ~8:30am to 2:45pm, depending on the school's bell schedule. Whether you can spare a day or two or three, your contribution will make a difference in empowering the next generation of environmental stewards. Are you ready to make a difference? Join us in cultivating a love for nature and inspiring positive change in our communities. Sign up to volunteer today and be a part of the Creatures of Habitat journey! |
