Volunteer Opportunities for Students

2010

The Children’s Garden Players! Service Learning Program provides middle and high
school age students with the chance to explore career opportunities in a non-profit work environment while accumulating community service hours. Through our program students develop a strong work ethic, learn valuable life skills, gain practical work experience and are exposed to the human relationship with nature. With mentoring and education, students will realize the value of their experience and the importance of providing meaningful interactions with nature to children and their families. Relevant training will support the students’ professional development and sense of accomplishment. High expectations of the students’ work and commitment to the garden will give students a sense of accomplishment as they reach different levels of responsibility.

Apply today to become a volunteer in the Children’s Garden by visiting the Garden’s
website at www.lewisginter.org/volunteers or call (804) 262-9887 ext. 335. All
interested students must be 13 years of age or older to apply. Applications, essays and references are due no later than January 15. Position descriptions, training requirements, expected commitments and training dates are listed here.
