Volunteer with school groups at the Obey Center
04/11/24 17:28
The Obey Center hosts classroom groups on Wednesdays and Thursdays (as scheduled). The staff seeks people to volunteer with the classroom groups throughout the school year. These visits run from 9:00 to 2:00. Time is allotted for lunch. They need one volunteer with each school group to work in the Obey Center while staff work with the students outside.
The Obey Center is open from 9:00 - 3:00 throughout the year on Wednesday through Sunday.
Volunteer work includes:
1. Staffing the front desk: greeting non-school visitors and answering their questions, selling IATA and park merchandise
2. Help with the Exhibit Search. Students are divided into 3-person teams. They receive a worksheet. They have to travel to different stations within the displays and look for answers to questions. The volunteer has an Answer Key for the worksheet, and they check the students’ answers.
3. A volunteer may be scheduled to lead a hike.
Email or call Dave Hladilek if you are interested in volunteering. He will contact you if you volunteer to find out when you are available.
Contact Dave Hladilek at Dave.Hladilek@wisconsin.gov or call him at 715-967-2800. He needs to perform a background check because you would be working with school children. He needs your name, email, and phone number.
NOTE: Volunteers for the Ice Age Trail must have a signed Volunteer Agreement from the National Park Service. If you do not have a volunteer agreement, you must get one from Dan Watson at the Wisconsin office of the National Park Service.
