Club Leader

NatureKids BC is looking for a co-club leader to help run our Cowichan Valley Club!

About NatureKids BC
NatureKids BC is a registered charity that helps children (aged 5-12) and their families get
outdoors to explore, play, learn about and take action for nature. We do this through an
award-winning network of nature clubs across BC. Together with our volunteer club leaders,
nature mentors and donors, we share a vision of working together to help children develop a
love of nature, a lifelong connection to the natural world, and build the environmental literacy
and skills to take action for nature.

Volunteer Role Description
As (co)leader of a local nature club, your primary responsibility will be to organize monthly
hands-on outdoor field trips, called Explorer Days, for NatureKids members and their families.
You don’t have to be an expert in nature interpretation, we can support you with access to
nature mentors and partners to help lead events. And, as we focus on families, a parent or
guardian will always be present with their children. Events for our clubs typically run on the
weekend and are usually 1.5-2 hours.

This is a fun and very rewarding volunteer position. You will be supported by a staff team, local
nature mentors and a peer network of volunteer leaders from all over BC. You will receive
orientation and training and access to all the resources and materials you need to do your job.
All our club leaders are volunteers – if you are organized, interested in the environment, and can
help organize monthly explorer days this opportunity may be for you!
