Elementary School Outreach
Become a Presenter for the elementary school outreach program. You have the opportunity to help elementary school children understand, appreciate, and become enthusiastic about “Our Home in the Desert”. Our 45 minute presentation, developed for 1st – 4th grade students, includes slides, “show and tell” items, and handouts. The program is intended to enrich the school environmental programs. Each presentation is to one classroom of approximately 25 students. The teachers remain with their classes. The script and all materials are provided along with training. If you enjoy working with children this opportunity is for you! If you have an interest please contact Dorothy Boone, Volunteer Coordinator, (520) 547-3437 or e-mail dboone@tnc.org
