I am currently contracting with Project Get Outdoors to provide part-time program coordination for the non-profit. In this role, I oversee grant writing, program planning and implementation of outreach programs to connect youth with nature. I also lead trainings to empower volunteers, community partners and child care providers to lead nature-based programming.
I offer nature programming through partner organizations. For example, I lead a variety of outdoor skills programs for the Becoming an Outdoors Woman program through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. I can lead programs through community education, parks and recreation, libraries, schools and other sites.
I am an approved Trainer and Course Writer for Childcare Aware Minnesota. I can develop and lead training courses. I focus on providing nature-based trainings for childcare providers to learn about the importance of connecting children to nature for wellbeing and providing tips and resources to empower them to incorporate nature exploration into their programming.
