SCHOOL PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS
On field trips, students are immersed in art, nature, history, and Filoli’s historic Garden, all while while they draw, dance and discover. School program volunteers share the story of Filoli’s plants, animals and people with students - and help students find relevance to their own lives. These innovative school programs further Filoli’s mission to connect our rich history with a vibrant future through beauty, nature and shared stories.
Volunteers use predetermined activities, routes, and content that is aligned with current curriculum standards. Volunteers are not expected to memorize historical facts or plant names - each student is given an activity booklet that that volunteers reference and use as an engagement tool throughout the field trip.

In addition, Filoli's property includes a 6.8 acre Gentlemen’s Heritage Orchard and a trail system that transverses five different ecosystems for docent-guided nature hikes and visits to the Sally MacBride Nature Center. Filoli is recognized as one of the finest remaining country estates of the early 20th century and is a cherished resource for the community valuing education, volunteerism and diversity.
