Our School Visit Volunteers inspire visiting children and young people to learn about and enjoy the natural world.
They aren’t afraid to get muddy and they let their passion for the outdoors shine through as they lead our visiting educational groups.
What’s involved?
> Leading the delivery of practical and interesting activities for local primary schools and some secondary schools.
> Following the existing programme of sessions linked with the school curriculum, adapting them to specific group needs as required.
> Making sure things run as smoothly and safely as possible, including getting to know health and safety and evacuation procedures and briefing each group on these.
> Using and looking after resources and equipment used for school visits.
> Helping to improve the schools programme by sharing your ideas and asking for feedback from visiting children, young people and their leaders.
> You might like to participate in the ongoing development of the sessions to help keep them exciting and relevant for schools.
> There might be some other activities that are also of interest to you, such as nature-themed activities for visiting families and adults.
> Being part of a team that may need to adapt and change in response to local needs, National Trust priorities or changes to government guidelines e.g., Covid.
