Thousands of students have discovered the natural laboratories right in their own backyards through the efforts of our committed staff and volunteers. We reach rural and under-served schools through our programs, taking broad science concepts and connecting them to places students know, often within walking distance of their classrooms. Our programs are aligned with current state and national standards.

​

Youth program volunteers are welcome to volunteer in whatever role you are comfortable in! If that is teaching, assisting, as another set of hands to set up/tear down, or as a set of eyes to watch for safety!
