The Lake Champlain Sea Grant Docent Program is a volunteer-based effort that supports the successful Watershed Alliance K-12 education program. The Docent program trains individuals on specific watershed science topics and curricula so they are that they then teach to K-12 school and community groups. The program is a great way to expand personal knowledge and skillsets and to be a part of a larger environmental science and education team. This is a 1 year commitment and docents usually teach 2-3 times a month during our field seasons which are as follows
Fall Season: late August to early November
Spring Season: late February/early March until mid May
Summer Season: mid May – early August
