HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEER SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

BALTIMORE CITY STUDENTS IN ACTION

Every first Saturday of the month, students are invited to earn service hours by working on projects at the nature center. We offer on-going individual projects as well as larger projects for groups. Students can also create their own projects based on service learning objectives set by their school. After service hours are completed, the nature center conducts exit interviews which include individual conversations and time for reflection.

To get started, please contact our acting Volunteer Coordinator,Emma, at cmnc.volunteers@baltimorecity.gov. Service opportunities are held from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on the first Saturday of every month, weather permitting.

If you are interested in the service opportunities below, please reach out to our Volunteer Coordinator! All of these opportunities are approved by the City Schools Service Learning Office.
