Way to Help Title Way to Help Content As a volunteer with the Civic Garden Center, you’d be helping out with our Compost Kids program. A typical morning would look like: You show up at 8:45am to help prep for the field trip. Around 9:30am, the kids (elementary school-age) arrive! You are ready at your station- today, it’s the “What makes up our compost?” station. You’re ready with all of the necessary materials: buckets, shovels, and all of the bins for each category of compost materials. You go through the lesson that you learned in your training and rehearsed that morning. Finally, it’s time for the kids to go through their buckets of compost! You get to know them as they eagerly sift through the dirt. As per usual, their favorite part is looking for worms! After a half hour, the small group moves onto the next station, and you get your new group, and do it all over again!
