Volunteer opportunities for students abound in ELC

Volunteer opportunities abound
in the Environmental Learning
Center for students interested in
education, science or the environ
ment.
Critter Walk guides, science edu
cators and astronomy assistants
are needed in this department and
everyone is encouraged to apply.
These popular programs rely on
student volunteers to run
smoothly.
“WeLve got great programs,
we’ve just got to have the people
to do them,” Said Francesca
Woodward, program coordinator
for the Environmental Learning
Center
Critter Walk guides lead groups
of kids ages 5-9 through the ELC
habitat to learn about the animals
and environment of the wetland
ecosystem. These one-hour tours
include hands-on activities both
for the kids and instructors.
If you would rather work with
older kids, consider becoming a
science educator. This involves
taking 8-12 year olds on a voyage
of discovery into natural science
topics, such as water quality pro
grams. The teaching is done both
at our outdoor site on campus and
in their school classrooms.
The Haggart Observatory will
soon be up and running again. On
clear Saturday nights, the commu
nity will be invited to come and
view the universe through a 24”
Newtonian telescope. Volunteers
will take the visitors on an explor
atory tour of the night sky.
Volunteering is not only good for
you, it can also be good for your
pocketbook. Cooperative Work
Experience is available for volun
teers who complete a minimum
number of hours. These credits are
transferable as electives and are
completely free. Scholarships are
also available for students who get
involved with the ELC.
For those looking for some extra
money, the ELC is also in need of a
volunteer secretary. This could be
either a paid position or exchanged
for free credits.
A science background, while
handy, is not required to become a
volunteer. The two most important
things a volunteer can bring to the
program are enthusiasm and dedi
cation. Extensive training will be
provided to all volunteers. Most
programs will be running twice a
week, starting in March. Interested
people should contact the ELC as
soon as possible for training. Call
Francesca Woodward, ext. 2351.
