Outdoor School Volunteer Opportunities

Special Needs One-on-One Volunteer
Want to change a life? Volunteer to work one-on-one with a special needs sixth grade student. This is a one-week commitment at an Outdoor School site. Your commitment will ensure that a special needs student is able to participate in Outdoor School.

Classroom Guest Speaker
Come share what you know about plants, animals, water or soil in a classroom. Your visit will help students prepare for their upcoming Outdoor School experience.

Expert Trainer for Outdoor School Staff or Classroom Teachers
Want to share your special skill, expertise or knowledge with adults? Come train Outdoor School staff or classroom teachers about your field of expertise so that they may share with Outdoor School students.

Corporate Volunteer Day
Need to build your team, increase company morale or just get out of the office for some fresh air? We can help you plan a corporate volunteer day at an Outdoor School Site.

Office Volunteer
Our office doesn’t run itself. Help us file, enter computer data, stuff envelopes, make copies or perform other office work.

Math Wizard
Have a knack for numbers? We often need data crunched for evaluations and other statistical projects.

Student Leader Volunteers
Are you a high school student? Be a Student Leader! This is a life changing experience for you and the sixth grade students you mentor. It also looks great on your resume.
