Do you want to work in outdoor education or help young people connect with nature? If you would like to add to your skill set and experience how Wilderness Awareness School works with youth, consider working with us as a Summer Camp Volunteer Assistant Instructor!
Wilderness Awareness is a school that uses ancient and modern wisdom to empower people of all ages to become stewards, mentors, and leaders. In the last 30 years we have become a leading national organization in nature education that has inspired many individuals and schools. Our mentoring approach honors individuality, encourages self-sufficiency in learning, and awakens a kinship with nature as it trains youth and adults to blend the awareness of a native tracker with the knowledge of a wildlife biologist. Our wilderness education courses draw on traditions from indigenous cultures world-wide, emphasizing nature as teacher, routines to enhance awareness, storytelling, self-motivated learning, and tracking as an interpretive tool.
We are looking for volunteers for a week (40 hours) or up to six weeks, to help children connect with the natural world while adding your own knowledge and skills to the instructional mix. Wilderness Awareness School relies on a strong base of volunteers to be able to offer quality summer programs to youth ages 4-18.

Our summer camps are held at local parks around King County in Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Carnation and Duvall. We offer full-day, half-day and overnight camps and serve about 1,800 youth every summer. These camps focus on survival skills, camouflage, tracking, wild edible plants, naturalist studies, storytelling, community building and much more.
To explore more about our camps go to: http://wildernessawareness.org/support/volunteer
To qualify you need to be enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge and appreciation of nature in a summer camp experience. Be willing to work with a team and able to openly communicate. Previous experience in leadership and teaching is helpful but not required.

HackHW is the first ever hackathon organized by the students of Harvard Westlake high school in Studio City, California. Harvard Westlake is one of the best high schools in the nation for computer science. It has an amazingly comprehensive computer science curriculum and very talented computer science students. However, as high school computer scientists, many HW students lack coordinated opportunities, and the industry mentorship necessary to develop their skills outside of the classroom.

Hack HW is their solution to this problem. A small 50-student, 36 hour event, open to any Harvard-Westlake high school student, Hack HW not only encourages students to put their programming skills to practice, but also seeks to provide students, who may not have had the opportunity to try computer science, with an idea of what it means to enter the tech world.

To ensure that students are pursuing realistic projects and have the resources necessary to overcome programming and planning hurdles, this hackathon needs mentors with experience in entrepreneurship, iOS development, web development, or Arduino programming, 3D Printing, soldering and more throughout the event. That's where you come in. Volunteer your time for one or more shifts and help inspire our future leaders to create solutions with software/hardware hacking!

To date, we have built 15 playgrounds, involving hundreds of volunteers from five different countries, repurposing over 2000 tires and impacting the lives of thousands of children and their communities.
In 2016 we are gearing up for our most ambitious year to date with 8 playgrounds projects lined up in rural Mayan communities in Chiapas, Mexico.

Fatima Childrens Home is NOT an orphanage. It is a loving home for more than 42 children aging from 1 day to 18 years. For whatever reason the children find themselves without a home or food or access to education, they are welcomed into this family, and have a space of their own and are respected and cared for. The children are placed at Fatima by the court system, and there is no monetary support, or monetary gain for Fatima. The loving Guatemalans that support this home, do it out of pure love and commitment to those in need. It is incredible to be amongst them and see the level of care they provide. Psychological counseling for children, parenting classes for parents or relatives if they are in the picture, schooling, and chores for the kids in this home. Not to mention, art, dancing, singing, and homework. The program is focused on returning to children to family if that is an option, but working with the entire family system to ensure safe and successful, self sufficient futures, with education access as a key. We are so proud of the incredible work they do, and are looking to support them as they expand their program to the indigenous region in Solola. Bringing jobs, and family support to the families in this area. Guatemalan Run, Guatemalan community goals at the core. Creating jobs, and helping families stay together and stay in the country the love. Providing hope and futures. Come be a part of it... visitors are welcome with a donation to Fatima Childrens Home. Groups can play with the children, offer to do activities at the home. Housing and travel would be the responsibility of the volunteer, but we can organize trips for groups and individuals through our trusted travel liasons. We would love to have you come and experience the love, care and hope in this really magical place. It really is amazing. The caretakers, managers, and of course the resilient children are amazing!!
Welcome to Guatemala, Bethany Eisenberg, Founder, Guatemala Aid Fund :)
