Come volunteer with a weekly environmental education class held at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden. Children in grades 3-5 learn about science through hands-on activities and outdoor explorations. This group of children is very small (usually only 3-5 students), but they have some behavioral issues that we think a volunteer could help with. By assisting with these classes you'd help keep the children on track, learning, and enjoying this opportunity for in-person learning. They meet every Friday from 4pm - 5pm. We would like a volunteer who could attend most if not every Friday class, so that the children can get to know you and build a connection. All classes are held entirely outdoors with a covered pavilion and the volunteer must be willing to wear a mask during the entire class.
