Volunteer

Do you want to help children thrive through nature-based enrichment?

Want to add meaningful experiences to your resume?

Your help enables us to give parents respite while providing quality enrichment for some amazing children.

Many hands make light work, and ordinary people who help in simple ways can make an extraordinary difference!

The nature of our programming makes this a great opportunity for college students majoring in health sciences (especially occupational therapy), psychology, or education. We’re happy to write a summary and recommendation based on your time volunteering!

You’d be a great candidate if you:

• work well with others
• genuinely enjoy working with children
• enjoy the outdoors in all sorts of weather (a nature based setting isn’t for everyone!) or, for the indoor clubs, enjoy the activity of the club (e.g. Lego or art)
• can communicate well
• are eager and able to learn how to meet a variety of support needs
• have reliable transportation
• can commit to a set schedule of at least 2 hours per week during the school year (hours would typically be within the windows of 9am-2:30pm on Tuesdays and/or 2:30-5pm on Thursdays or Fridays)
• are age 16 or older (those under 18 will need to provide written consent from their parent/guardian)
• pass a background check
