The BBY program is a series of curriculum based nature walks developed to provide hands-on learning in science and social studies. Parent volunteers are needed to support classroom teachers in coordinating resources and leading small groups of students on specific walks. Volunteers are instructed on how to lead the specific walk with the help of a written guide and walk-through training. No experience needed.
