Autumn is the perfect time to help students “fall” in love with nature. Why not get involved with Focus on Nature and give schoolchildren a fun day outdoors, exploring the beautiful parks and trails in Waterloo Region?
As a volunteer program assistant, you will be part of a team inspiring elementary school students to open their eyes to the wonders of nature, using simple point-and-shoot cameras. You can pick the workshop dates that you wish to sign up for.
You don’t have to be a photographer to be a Focus on Nature volunteer, but an interest in the arts and the great outdoors would be assets in mentoring the students. Visit focusonnature.ca to volunteer.
