Join Yolo Basin Foundation this fall by becoming a Discover the Flyway docent and providing outdoor learning experiences for K- to 12th-grade students.
Help students from local schools connect to nature, learn about science, and protect wetlands through field trips to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. If you enjoy spending time outdoors with young people, and appreciate being part of a community of volunteers, this is a wonderful opportunity!
As a new docent, you will learn about the natural history of local wetlands, how to facilitate hands-on activities for small groups, and lead guided tours in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area.
Docent training sessions will take place outdoors at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters. Ongoing training continues with opportunities to shadow experienced staff and docents during school field trips starting Sept. 2. Docents are needed for morning or afternoon shifts, Tuesday through Thursday, for the 2024-25 school year.
The goal of Discover the Flyway is to offer children a meaningful outdoor experience that will give them an appreciation for the wetlands, agriculture, and wildlife of the Central Valley.
Dates: Sept. 3, 5, 9, and 13 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and Sept. 11 from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
To register for Discover the Flyway docent training, fill out a volunteer application on the Yolo Basin Foundation website, yolobasin.org/volunteer and sign up for the training dates.
