SUMMARY:Volunteer: Nature Educator - Friends of Tryon Creek
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a child gets to pet a pelt for the first time?  What about the thrill of helping a student discover the role of a mole in the watershed?  Do you yearn to finally catch a glimpse of an owl while 10 sets of eyes excitedly follow your finger in the hopes of finding him too? Are you a lifelong learner with a passion for spreading your knowledge?  If so\, you might be a Nature Educator!   Without you\, thousands of students each year would miss out on the opportunity to experience the forest firsthand through educational hikes\, activities and community learning experiences. \nThis fall\, Friends of Tryon Creek are offering a FREE 1-day orientation to our Field Trip program. Designed as a way to get new volunteers looped into our programs through the fall\, this orientation compliments our comprehensive spring training scheduled for late February/early March 2019.  During the 5-hour program\, volunteers will gain knowledge and tools needed to help them be a successful and positive leader and educator in the Tryon Creek field trip setting\, with the intention of recruiting enthusiastic and passionate people to become a part of our family of naturalists\, educators\, leaders\, and learners! We welcome all ages\, backgrounds\, and experience levels\, asking only that you pass a background check and are available to volunteer at least once a month (weekday mornings) during the field trip season\, which runs throughout the school year.
