Review for Environmental Volunteers, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA
I participate with other volunteers in leading hands-on sessions designed to enrich elementary students' understanding of environmental and science related subjects, such as earthquakes and the carbon cycle. Many of the sessions are followed in subsequent days by field trips to sites that exemplify the subjects discussed, such as the baylands, earthquake fault zones and tidal zones. The organization provides outstanding support to volunteers, including training and monthly meetings with enrichment presentations. No expertise in science is expected (although welcome!); no experience in teaching is required -- just an appreciation of the environment and a desire to work with kids. Great opportunity; rewarding experience.
