The Nature Connection, a non-profit organization, is offering a training session for volunteers who would like to help deliver monthly nature-based therapeutic programs to elders and youth in need throughout Greater Boston.

Volunteers should have experience or interest in environmental education, psychology, social work, occupational therapy or the arts; or have worked with people with disabilities, youth, elders or animals. We ask volunteers to make a year-long commitment, at least once a month for two hours.

Participation in this workshop is required for new volunteers who would like to help deliver nature’s healing power to partner sites throughout Greater Boston including assisted living residences, memory care programs, special needs schools and residential youth programs.
