Love butterflies? Then we are the place for you to volunteer! The
Butterfly House located in Chesterfield, MO is looking for
volunteers who love to interact with children in an educational
setting. Our volunteer docents provide structured presentations to
elementary students on butterflies, invertebrates, and their
environments that include seeing our live tropical butterflies.
Formal training is given to prepare you to provide the
presentations. We ask that docents commit to volunteering at least
2 hours per week on a set schedule. If you are interested in
learning more about this fascinating opportunity, please contact
Jessica Deering at 636-530-0076 X.12 or at
jessica.deering@mobot.org. You can also visit our website,
www.butterflyhouse.org to learn more about our facility.

Needed-Discovering Options
11/5/2009
We are a not for profit arts organization that offers enrichment
programs to elementary schools in the St. Louis metro area. We
need volunteers for a number of projects and since our programs
occur IN the classroom, retired teachers would be an amazing
asset.
Our next project is a playwriting program for 5th graders
at 2 local public schools.
In conjunction with The Repertory Theatre, we work with students for
30 weeks to teach them the art of playwriting. By the end of the
program each student writes a complete (and published) play. A
sampling of those plays are performed on the mainstage of the Rep by
professional actors with full production values. It is an exciting
day of celebration for students, teachers and volunteers.
We are looking for volunteers who could spend 90 minutes to 3 hours
per week (Mondays and/or Tuesdays) from mid December thru February
assisting students as they write their plays. Spending one on one
time with the students they do anything from taking dictation (for
students who have challenges with the physical act of writing) to
helping with spelling, vocabulary, logical story sequences and just
plain inspiration. It’s amazing to see how much these 5th
graders can accomplish when they have the undivided attention of an
adult who cares.
I
believe this is a very rewarding opportunity for volunteers –
especially teachers who may yearn to be back in the classroom for a
few hours.
I
would appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about this to
your association. Please advise on the process involved in posting
this opportunity on your website.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
