Volunteers Sought To Help Teach Students About The Chesapeake Bay

July 17, 2011 |

Annapolis, Md. (July 14, 2011) – The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking interested adults to become Teaching Environmental Awareness in Maryland (TEAM) volunteers. Since its inception in 1998, TEAM DNR volunteers have helped to educate over 28,000 elementary and middle school students about the Chesapeake Bay and other environmental issues.

Volunteers should have an outgoing personality and a strong desire to protect the Chesapeake Bay. No prior teaching experience is necessary. Currently, TEAM offers schools free classroom programs on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, Horseshoe Crabs, Oyster Reefs, Chesapeake Watermen and Streams.

Participants are asked to attend both of the following sessions as part of their training:

Thursday, August 11, 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Thursday, August 18, 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Workshops will be held in the lobby conference room of the Tawes State Office Building, 580 Taylor Avenue, Annapolis, Maryland.

Participants are asked to bring their own lunch. Beverages and snacks will be provided in the morning.

To register for a workshop contact Amy Henry at 410-260-8828 or [email protected]. For more information about TEAM DNR visit www.dnr.maryland.gov/education/teamdnr.
