Boston Outdoor Preschool Network

I’m happy to share that I’ve been involved as a Volunteer with Boston Outdoor Preschool Network. I'm incredibly grateful for opportunity to volunteer here, where I get to support amazing students and teachers in an outdoor learning environment. Volunteering here has been a fulfilling experience. Whether it's assisting with daily activities, fostering creativity, or ensuring everything is running smoothly, every day brings new rewards and challenges. It's a great organization - please comment below or message me if you would like to learn more or get involved. https://lnkd.in/g_qviKv8
