  • Teach and Play: Lead interactive lessons and games about nature and sustainability for kids at summer camps and after-school programs.
  • Community Events: Help run booths at local events like “Family Fun Fest” and “Creek Week.” You’ll be responsible for setting up displays and packing them up afterward.
