Environmental Volunteers

50 Years of Science and Nature

Environmental Volunteers founded in 1972, has inspired people of all ages for 50 years to learn about the wonders of the natural world. We train volunteers to lead hands-on science and nature programs in schools, community organizations, and at the EcoCenter in the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve. Environmental Volunteers’ mission is to promote the understanding of and responsibility for the environment through hands-on science and nature education in order to develop the next generation of environmental stewards. We achieve our mission through our school programs. Our school programs grow students’ environmental awareness, connect students to the outdoors, and instill a desire to protect Earth’s beauty and natural resources.
