| Are you an experienced teacher or do you like working with others in a leadership role? Help the Green Center by volunteering for one or more of our educational programs: |
|
| Spring Vegetable School Gardens |
|
|
| The Green Center collaborates with U City in Bloom on a vegetable garden project at the six University City elementary schools. Volunteers work with school children to prepare garden beds, plant and maintain the gardens and harvest the gardens at the end of the school year. If you love gardening and working with children, then this is a great opportunity for you.

| Open Spaces Docent/Instructor |
|
|
| It is so gratifying to see the look on children's faces or adults, when they are surprised by things they see and learn in the Green Center’s open spaces. Train to provide outdoor tours of the demonstration gardens, prairie, wetland, and/or woods. Enjoy the outdoors through different seasons and learn the magic they have to offer. Set your own hours and style. Connect people to nature by guiding them through the native and hybridized gardens that surround the Green Center.

| Camp Instructor Assistant |
|
|
| Do you like to be outdoors all day, to work with children of all ages, and to learn how to be a creative camp leader? Assist summer youth camp instructors, guest teachers, and naturalists who guide and supervise summer students through their innovative art and nature activities. You must like to work with children of different ages and to be outdoors. Some days will require a full day of participation at a state park or a good distance away from your home. Available transportation and a willingness to cooperate are essential. Your participation could lead to a paid position.
