CHILDREN'S NATURE PROGRAM VOLUNTEERS

Spring & Summer Opportunities

Positions: Volunteer
Organization: Kids In the Woods Initiative
Location: Toronto, (near Toronto Zoo), Ontario

Welcome to Kids In the Woods Initiative—K.I.W.I., a nonprofit organization providing beneficial outdoor nature experience programs for children ages 4- 15. Our goal is to reconnect kids to nature through adventure-play and mentoring in Toronto’s beautiful Rouge Park!.

The Opportunity:

We are currently recruiting volunteers for our 2021 season of programs.

What are you doing this spring & summer?

We are looking for great, nature-loving people to help us this spring & summer. Our Saturday programming runs for six week intervals each season (fall, winter, spring). Our summer camp program runs for 1 week intervals in July. We ask volunteers to commit to an entire schedule of a particular program they are interested in (e.g. 6 weeks).

Your Role:

Assist staff with the delivery of our outdoor programs. You will be interacting directly with the children enrolled in our program.

K.I.W.I is an outdoor nature experience program and all of our programming is conducted entirely outdoors, so we are looking for individuals who can adapt to all kinds of weather. All applicants must provide a current police background check.
