The Learning Garden at Rancho Vista

We are looking for Docents for each grade level. A Docent Volunteer would ideally be available to stay the whole day (all grade level classroom times and Garden Club) on all the dates the grade level has scheduled lessons. If you are interested, please contact Maryam Mazhin at Maryam.mazhin@gmail.com.

 

The Learning Garden lessons are always on Mondays. Volunteers are strongly encouraged to remain to help with the Garden Club which is open to all students during lunchtime hours (except for TK/Kindergarten classes).

To signup you must either login or provide a first name, last name, and email address. Login


You should have access to this email account and be able to receive emails related to this volunteering opportunity.


It's funny, but robots don't seem to be able to do simple math.
