Volunteer Opportunities

Each year, we actively encourage and support the participation of families and community members in volunteer roles that directly match our program’s specific needs and goals.

Nature Explore Classroom Volunteers

Regular maintenance of our Nature Explore Classrooms is vital to the success of our programs. The children spend many hours outside exploring and using these beautiful spaces.

We need the help of individuals and groups who have the opportunity and time to refresh and repair our spaces. Volunteering in our NEC is perfect for those who have volunteer hours through their employer—we would love to be a part of that mission.

Potential volunteer opportunities include:

• Help by replenishing mulch and sand throughout the outdoor classroom area.
• Work on garden/yard maintenance during the year.
• Build or install planter boxes, birdfeeders, children’s picnic tables, decking, and more.
• Help with various outdoor classroom repairs such as fencing.
• Help with landscaping tasks such as pulling weeds, planting greenery/plant furnishings, or laying turf or limestone flooring.

Please get in touch with [email protected] for further information and scheduling.
