Volunteer Training: Introduction to Volunteering with PVAS Youth Education Programs

This hybrid training will be offered live over Zoom and in person at Cool Spring Preserve, and will also be recorded for those unable to attend. If you’d like a direct link to the recording, please email [email protected].
This introductory session is designed for all current and prospective Youth Programs Assistants—whether you’re brand new or returning for another season. Together, we’ll explore:

• The benefits of environmental education and experiential learning
  
• Volunteer opportunities with our youth programs
  
• Best practices for group management
  
• Engaging teaching tips with an emphasis on asking questions
  
• Strategies for handling participant behavior
  
• Volunteer responsibilities and next steps
  

This training is required for all Youth Programs Assistants, even if you’ve volunteered before. It’s a great way to refresh your skills and ensure you’re up to date on best practices as the school year begins. Afterward, you’ll complete an open-book self-paced quiz to reinforce your learning.
This training is a one-time requirement and does not cover specific curricula. Follow-up, in-person trainings will be held for activity-specific opportunities, including 4th Grade Watershed Field Trips and Animal Ambassador education programs.

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
