To enhance your engagement and leadership skills, high school volunteers to develop and lead 1-2 activities during each week that you're volunteering. These activities should last about 30 mins and can be a craft, skill, game, or science experiment. The activity can directly relate to the week's topic or simply be something you're already passionate about and love. Squad members look up to you and love to learn from you. This is your chance to share your expertise!
All registered high school volunteers will receive an email in early May with more information about this and let you know the due date--which will likely be later in May. That gives the UAS team time to review your activities, ask for any edits, find the right place to fit them into the flow of the week, and purchase your supplies. The research and development time you spend creating the activities should be included in the SSL hours you earn.
All High School Volunteers are required to attend an in-person orientation in early June.
Scheduling note for July: During the month of July because we're partnering with two different elementary schools to lead outdoor learning adventures during their summer programs. We will spend two days a week at each school leading 90-minute adventures. One school is in Tenleytown and the other is in Manor Park. If you'd like to volunteer with us for any of these programs, let's chat.
