What is a Nature Mentor?
A nature mentor is someone who shares their expertise, skills and
knowledge about the natural world with others. Our communities are replete with
potential nature mentors such as working and retired biologists, geologists,
naturalists and environmental educators.
What do YNC Nature Mentors do?
Generously volunteering a few hours throughout the year, YNC Nature
Mentors help bring the wonder of nature and the natural sciences to BC children
and their families by delivering a program or activity on a YNC Explorer Day Field Trip.
The Nature Mentors' Circle
YNC-BC has formed the Nature Mentors' Circle to match local naturalists,
educators, scientists and community experts with YNC Club Leaders who are
organizing engaging hands-on nature-themed activities for children in over 30 BC communities. The Nature Mentors'
Circle features a database that lists local nature mentors across the province
and lets Club Leaders find out about their availability and interests. This
will help Club Leaders to organize Explorer Days and include a variety of
individuals in the YNC's activities.
Benefits for Nature Mentors
By registering in YNC's Nature Mentors' Circle, you will access
opportunities to share your expertise and enthusiasm with young naturalists and
meet some amazing youth in your community. The Nature Mentors' Circle
registration allows each nature mentor to share their interests, availability
and preferences with YNC so our club leaders can provide well-matched
opportunities.
