Bring your love of kids and playful attitude to help our Environmental Educators during PEEC programs. These programs include fleld trips, bird banding trips, summer nature camps, and after-school nature clubs. Age groups range from preschool to middle school. Some programs are indoor, some are outdoor. Watch kids eyes light up as you help them learn fun and interesting nature concepts and help strengthen their ties to the outdoors.

Description
Two of the greatest assets of northern New Mexico are its people and its landscape. PEEC recognizes this, and has worked tirelessly at a very personal level that only a grassroots organization could achieve. We aim to unite local schools, organizations, government, and businesses in support of the appreciation and understanding of our beautiful environment. In order to achieve our goal we have engaged in community outreach to citizens and community organizations. PEEC brings diverse community and scientific organizations together to collaborate on educational programs, events, and speakers. We feel that reaching children is vital to building life-long connections to the natural world. PEEC is committed to providing direct experiences that connect all ages with nature. PEEC volunteers provide hands-on science activities at community events that attract visitors. We have organized yearly Earth Day celebrations in Los Alamos. PEEC volunteers are knowledgeable and dedicated to environmental education on a variety of topics: animals, wildflowers, fire ecology, geology, bird song identification, and historic trails.
