Become a Volunteer Educator

Become a Volunteer Environmental Educator at Sheldrake!

If you have two mornings a week, you can become a Volunteer Environmental Educator at Sheldrake Environmental Center and learn to connect children with nature. Training provided (no experience necessary) Beginning each October, Sheldrake Environmental Center offers a course for those interested in becoming Volunteer Environmental Educators. The twelve-session course consists of a combination of ecology and teaching techniques. Volunteers taking the course will be trained by participating in hands-on activities and outdoor explorations, as well as observing veteran naturalists in the field. Classes meet on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Upon completion of the course, graduates will lead pre-trips in the local elementary schools and field trips at the Larchmont Reservoir, the Sheldrake River Trail and at Dog Beach.
