The Maryland Department of Natural Resources invites adults interested in teaching elementary and middle-school students about the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and its marine and estuarine life, to become a part of TEAM, Teaching Environmental Awareness in Maryland<\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

Volunteers should have an outgoing personality, a strong environmental ethic, a passion for communicating, and a desire to teach 45-minute to 1.5-hour lessons in classroom. Participants may choose in which region and how often they teach, but must volunteer at least four times in a school year to remain active. Volunteers will work in pairs. They MUST attend a three-session TEAM training before beginning, as well as have their own transportation, and be at least 18 years old.<\/p>\n

The next set of workshops will be held consecutive weeks in February\/March. Participants must attend all three for necessary training.<\/p>\n
