Volunteer at LREC

Volunteering at Litzsinger, I have the best of several worlds: helping children to understand nature, working outdoors at this beautiful spot and working with others with similar interests. I learn something new each time I am there. —Faye Roth

If you enjoy working with children and spending time outdoors, consider volunteering at the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center (LREC), located in Ladue—ten miles west of downtown St. Louis. Volunteer Educators are sought to guide and teach small groups of students beginning in the upcoming school year.
Free Volunteer Educator training begins on Monday, September 12, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday training sessions continue for eight consecutive weeks. During training, volunteers will become familiar with the site, learn inquiry-based, outdoor teaching strategies, and gain an understanding of basic ecology. Trainees will also have many opportunities to observe school groups and practice teaching.
If you are interested in becoming a Volunteer Educator and attending the training, please contact Eddie Jones at (314) 409-4947 or eddie@litzsinger.org.
