27 EDUCATION Red Butte Garden provides the community with an out- standing resource for environmental education through lectures, classes, workshops, school field trips, kids classes, camps, festivals, tours, and outreach events. If you like people, enjoy plants and nature, and can communicate well, you may enjoy being an education volunteer. All edu- cation volunteer positions will require training. School Programs School Program Volunteers explore Red Butte Garden’s 100-acre outdoor classroom while sharing their knowl- edge of plants and animals with children. Volunteers lead weekly two-hour field classes through the Garden for a unique and exciting learning experience that highlights topics found in the science core curriculum of their grade level. Volunteers must be age 20 or older. Summer Camp Volunteers Volunteers work with our Education Staff to create in- teractive, educational experiences for children. Summer Camp volunteers need to be comfortable working with children in an exciting, outdoor environment. Volunteers may sign up for one day a week, or a week at a time. Training is hands-on. Must be age 15 and older. Garden Guide Volunteers Volunteers share their love and knowledge of plants and Red Butte Garden with others by leading private and pub- lic tours (walking and tram), answering visitor questions, hosting programs, or acting as an ambassador for the Garden throughout the community. Volunteers must be 18 years or older. Required training available in March. Year-round Volunteer Opportunities includes volunteering with the Event Department and working at summer concerts, Monday Family Nights, or birthday parities. There are also Horti- culture Department volunteer positions such as weeding, planting, seasonal garden clean-up, and working in the greenhouse.
