Come train as a facilitator for our Compost Kids field trips!

We're seeking volunteer facilitators for our K-6 Compost Kids field trip.

What will I be doing? Facilitators lead one of the field trip stations on composting, nature exploration, pollinators or herb gardening and planting seeds.

What's the time commitment? Field trips are 2.5 hours long, and facilitators are asked to arrive 30 minutes ahead of time to help set up. We will offer the field trip once a week on Tuesday mornings in September (12, 19, 26) and October (3, 10, 17, 24 31). Schools typically book to arrive between 9 and 10am and finish up between 11:30am and 12:30pm.

Do I have to attend every date? An ideal volunteer would be available for multiple dates, but you do NOT need to help with all the field trips.

What else should I know? Background checks are required for volunteer facilitators. If you are interested in volunteering but can’t make the training, we encourage you to reach out and we will try to make accommodations!

Still have questions? Please reach out to Ellie Falk, CGC Youth Education Coordinator: efalk@civicgardencenter.org
