Education Support: Urban Discovery Academy – San Diego

As a volunteer, help our staff engage our students through interactive demonstrations, teach sustainable practices that support a healthy planet, and inspire students to adopt sustainable practices in their own lives.

Volunteer support can also include the following:

• Setting up / breaking down demo site
• Advancing PowerPoint slides or flipping our educational chart
• Engaging students in activities related to the lesson

Volunteer Shifts

• 7:45 am to 1:00 pm (if we have two volunteers sign up, we can split this shift in half if preffered)

Opportunity Requirements & Important Notes (PLEASE READ)

• Attire: Wear clothes that are comfortable for standing in and appropriate to the weather and school location. 

• Bring: Reusable water bottle, snacks for break-time.

• Experience Needed: At least one volunteer event with Solana Center prior, unless you are a Master Composter graduate or familiar with Solana Center. 

• Age Requirements: Must be at least 18 years of age. 

• Physical Requirements: Must be willing to do hands-on work with worms and other compost critters and able to lift up to 20 pounds.

• Safety: All volunteers must bring to their volunteer shift the day of the event either: proof of vaccination, either through your issued vaccination card or through California’s Digital Covid-19 Vaccine Record, or proof of a negative PCR test (only PCR tests will be accepted) taken within 7 days of the event.

• Other: Please arrive on time, as it disrupts the flow of this event. If you’re schedule changes, please let the volunteer coordinator know as soon as possible – we depend on volunteer help for a successful event and no-shows put stress on our team.
