Do you know someone who enjoys working with children and spending time outdoors? Let them know about volunteering with us! Volunteer Educators are needed to guide and teach small groups of students beginning in the upcoming school year.

Free Volunteer Educator training will be held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. beginning on Monday, September 8, 2014.  Training sessions continue for eight consecutive Mondays,  through October 27.

Trainees will become familiar with the site, learn inquiry-based, outdoor teaching strategies, and gain an understanding of basic ecology. There will also be many opportunities to observe school groups and practice teaching.

For more information on becoming a Volunteer Educator at LREC, call Jackie Juras, Manager of Volunteer Programs, at (314) 577-5187.
