The Holden Arboretum is looking for active nature lovers to become School Guides and lead school and children's groups on fun, educational and experiential programs in Holden's forest and grounds. Holden School Guides lead over 14,000 students each year and play an essential role in the its mission to connect children with nature. Weekday availability a must, but schedule is flexible. Training includes completion of new volunteer orientation, school guide training (one weekday class session) and shadowing of veteran guides. No previous teaching experience necessary, but good communication skills, and the desire to experience the wonder of nature alongside our youngest guests are a must!
