Would you like an ongoing volunteer opportunity that will foster relationships and connect with the youth of Hamilton Southeastern Schools?
The City of Fishers seeks dedicated volunteers who are available to assist with fifth-grade tours of the Maker Playground from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. Due to the nature of this opportunity, volunteers must be able to commit to at least one day a week through April 18. Tours will not occur during school breaks.
Please do not respond to this opportunity if you are not able to volunteer once a week.
In collaboration with HSE Schools, the Maker Playground is offering an experiential and project-based curriculum for all fifth-grade students.
Modeled after the successful and popular Nature First program at Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve, the program features study trips to the Maker Playground where students are immersed in the workshop and work collaboratively to solve real-world problems through making (think bridge building or creating a better mouse trap).
The goal is to bridge the gap between education and industry, where students can begin thinking about how making is part of building their future career.
Volunteers must attend Tour Guide training from 2 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 18. Click here to register for that date. Tour Guide training will also take place from 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 19. Click here to register for that date.
Please do not respond to this opportunity without registering for one of two training events.
If you are interested in volunteering, but are not able to attend training, please call Amy Crell at (317) 670-9437 or email her at crella@fishers.in.us.
