Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you enjoy working with kids of all ages? Are you looking to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards? Then the Education department needs your help! We are looking for volunteers interested in sharing their passion for the natural world. DPNC has an afterschool program at Coogan Farm and we are looking for an active volunteer to commit to the same day each week, on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, to help the staff educator leading the program by serving as an extra pair of eyes and hands. As an Education Assistant, you will help the lead educator overseeing the students as they learn farm skills, make art outdoors, play music in the woods, and enjoy other nature inspired activities.

Description
We have a 300-acre nature preserve, with several miles of trails for hiking, biking and even cross country skiing. A combination of interactive displays illustrate the woodland, wetland and meadow habitats on the land surrounding our main campus, offering an ideal learning experience for children and adults visiting either of our locations, participating in our programs or attending our nature preschool. We offer outreach programs for school and scouting groups. We also have an Animal Care department for rehabilitation of limited species and continued care of non-releasable birds of prey. Membership support and volunteer engagement are absolutely essential to our success.
