Volunteers are needed to help teach Homewaters’ Land and Water Field Study.

Volunteers will work with 10-15 fourth or fifth grade students at a time teaching activities at a designated station. All activities are completed outside rain or shine.
The training date is April 27th (full day). Land and Water field studies are scheduled to tentatively run Tuesday through Friday, 9:30-2:00, from May 6th through June 7th. Volunteers must be available to teach three days while the Land and Water programs are occurring.
