Get Involved

Dedicated Volunteers are the life blood of Wyoming Project Learning Tree.

Steering Committee members volunteer to help lead, direct, and support the WY PLT program.

Facilitators volunteer to provide PLT training, materials, and support to educators in all walks of life.

Teachers use PLT in an effort to bring the environment into their classrooms, and students into the environment.

Students are active in their communities through service learning projects and community action.

Facilitators are volunteers who have received extensive training in PLT's materials, philosophy, and guiding principles.

Under Wyoming PLT's by-laws, the only way to become a facilitator is to be trained under the direction of the State Coordinator. This requirement ensures that each facilitator has proficient leadership skills and is familiar with PLT's mission. Being a facilitator means being a leader and a team player, and often provides rewarding and career-building experiences.

If you would like to become a facilitator, please complete the facilitator application form in the link below and contact the state coordinator.

Project Learning Tree materials are typically not for sale. In order to receive PLT materials, you are required to participate in a professional development workshop. Workshops are offered to meet a variety of professional development needs. Workshop audiences include: formal and non-formal educators, home school educators, day-care providers, resource agencies, scout leaders, and more. Advanced, and train-the-trainer leadership can also be available.

Workshops can also be scheduled specifically for your school or organization.

Workshops are open to anyone, held at convenient times, and are reasonably priced.

Check the Calendar of Events, or contact your State Coordinator for more information about PLT workshops and events in your area or to schedule a workshop for your school or organization.

In recent years some guides have become available through online courses. Please go to "Curriculum" under the main menu to find links to the guides with online courses.
