Volunteer Opportunities

Come experience Wilding Education in the most hands-on way possible! We are currently looking for volunteers to join us this summer as we work to bring Nature connection into the lives of our communities. As a volunteer, you can expect to be engaged in the many different elements of outdoor mentoring, whether this looks like helping our staff organize a game, lead a lesson on plant identification, or reign in a group of excited and muddy kids. We will give you skills and techniques to help you grow into a better mentor, all in the backdrop of a fun, empowering, and constantly-evolving atmosphere. Prior experience working with youth is a plus, but definitely not a requirement. Please contact our volunteer coordinator at admin@wildingeducation.org you are interested or have any questions!

Volunteer Requirements:

  • at least 14 years old

  • able to arrange transportation to/from the parks

  • excited about connecting with Nature

  • interested in learning to mentor youth via games, stories, challenges, songs, insightful questioning, and immersion in the great outdoors

  • able to adapt and “go with the flow”
