Volunteer at LREC

Volunteering at Litzsinger, I have the best of several worlds: helping children to understand nature, working outdoors at this beautiful spot and working with others with similar interests. I learn something new each time I am there. —Faye Roth

If you enjoy working with children and spending time outdoors, consider volunteering at the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center (LREC). Volunteer Educators are sought to guide and teach small groups of students beginning in the upcoming school year.
Free Volunteer Educator training begins on Monday, September 13, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday training sessions continue for ten consecutive weeks through November 15, 2010. During training, volunteers will become familiar with the site, learn inquiry-based, outdoor teaching strategies, and gain an understanding of basic ecology. Trainees will also have many opportunities to observe school groups and practice teaching.
LREC is located in Ladue, ten miles west of downtown St. Louis. For more information on becoming a Volunteer Educator at the LREC, call Jackie Juras, manager of volunteer programs, at (314) 577-5187.
