Who we are:
 
 We are a dedicated group of trained volunteers who teach hands-on garden-based lessons to students in grades K-8.  
 
Why volunteer?
 
 Living Classroom is about more than just teaching students how to plant in the garden.  It’s about using the edible and native plant gardens at each school as living laboratories and engaging student learning in fun and relevant ways.  Most of our standard-aligned lessons are interdisciplinary and tie into science, social studies and math curriculum.  Our hands-on lessons also get kids outside (green time vs. screen time), encourage healthy eating habits, and promote environmental literacy and stewardship.  
 
 Volunteering with Living Classroom offers a way for docents to act locally to help protect our environment and nurture our future environmental stewards!
 
 You don’t have to have a green thumb to be an amazing Living Classroom docent.  In fact, our program is great way to learn how to turn that black thumb into a green one!
 
 Living Classroom docents enjoy ongoing educational programs, hikes, field trips, social activities and a wonderful sense of community.  Just seeing the students smile and get excited when a docent arrives to give a lesson is rewarding and priceless!
 
 The commitment is only 6 hours (3 lessons) a month and you can tailor the program to fit your interests and availability.
 
Thanks and we hope to see you in the gardens soon!
