Education Program Aides assist with large educational programs, including school field trips, home school programs, public programs, family festivals, and events. Volunteers provide support and assistance to Naturalists while they lead classes or events for children or adults. Assistance during field trips may include preparation of programs, distributing supplies, supervising groups of children, answering questions, redirecting students, and possibly some teaching. During larger festival events, volunteers may assist in directing visitors or leading an activity. Most programs range from 2 to 5 hours in length.
