Program Volunteers consist of parents, family members, and caring community members who help ensure a student’s EarthWorks experience is educational, fun, and memorable. As a Program Volunteer you will participate in an orientation that teaches specific educational techniques. The orientation will help you to inspire, motivate, and instill lifelong learning in all children. The focus of your experience will be to foster higher-level thinking, problem-solving skills, and collaborative learning opportunities. Without your help to help co-facilitate the on-site experience, we would not be able to deliver such a high level, quality experience for students. We appreciate and encourage you to become a parent or community member Program Volunteer.
