The Gardens at Newbury Court, Morrison Theater

A volunteer training session for individuals interested in assisting with nature-based therapeutic programs. Volunteers should have experience or interest in environmental education, psychology, social work, occupational therapy or the arts; or have worked with people with disabilities, youth, elders or animals. We ask volunteers to make a year-long commitment, at least 2 week-day hours once a month.  Participation in this workshop is required for new volunteers who would like to help deliver life-changing programs to some of our community’s most vulnerable members.

Basic Volunteer Training will be led by our Program Coordinators and will consist of an introduction to The Nature Connection and an overview of the organization’s program methodology. You will experience a sample nature program, including safe handling of natural materials and live therapy animals.
