Volunteer at a kids art day camp!
The nonprofit organization Nature Consortium is running it's first annual summer camp for youth ages 5 - 12! Activities will include arts & crafts, games, sports & recreation, and nature walks! Volunteers would be lovely to ensure smooth running of camp days. Camps are in week long sessions, with 20 kids every week.
This program aims to increase participants’ artistic skill, advance environmental awareness and foster positive identity through workshops that are centered on creating art in nature. We believe that you could help us connect children, arts and nature by fostering mentoring relationships within the program to uphold our values of reflection, self-expression, personal growth, multiculturalism and earth-mindedness. Our low staff to student ratio allows us to provide a safe environment that encourages more challenging activities and leadership roles for our campers aged 5 to 12.
We count on volunteers like you to support us in giving the best consistent programming possible to the communities we serve. Our program enables some of King Country’s most undeserved youth access to quality out-of-school programs that augment their education, while also exposing them to artistic, environmental and cultural experiences that enrich their lives - at absolutely no cost to them.
Camps run Monday through Friday from 7am to 6pm. Volunteer Shifts are extemely flexible!

Mission Statement
Integrating Art, Nature, and Neighborhood to build and sustain a dynamic Delridge
Description
Nature Consortium inspires people in Puget Sound to become creative leaders through art and environmental action. We believe in experiential learning. Whether it's discovering a new art form or planting a tree for the first time, we invite you to roll up your sleeves and dig in.
Since 2003, we have been working to restore Seattle's biggest forest, the West Duwamish Greenbelt. Our Urban Forest Restoration Project is a long-term stewardship, education & advocacy project that offers hands-on experience in environmental action. Through this project, we host on-going volunteer work parties to plant native trees and understory and to clear invasive vegetation. Our Saturday work parties also feature live musicians to infuse the arts with our environmental work.
Our after-school and summer art classes offer a free and accessible way for youth to express their creativity. These classes serve youth in King County, primarily in low-income communities like Yesler Terrace and Rainier Vista. Offerings include photography, music, dance, organic gardening, nature-themed art, urban art, ceramics, and more.
Every year, as a culmination of our work, Nature Consortium hosts the Arts in Nature Festival in West Seattle to celebrate the outdoors and showcase local artists and performers. The festival encompasses music, dance, theatre, fire performances, wandering performers, a museum of sound and hands-on art & naturalist activities.
