Volunteers and Internship Program
Fiddleheads is always open to past, current, or future educators and leaders who are comfortable being outside rain or shine and can model a positive attitude no matter the weather. We ask that volunteers and interns keep an open mind and have a willingness to learn about child development, teaching techniques and the natural world, and are dedicated to working with kids in a volunteer capacity.
Age Requirement: At least 14 years old
At Fiddleheads, we work with interns to tailor positions that support your interests or goals and create opportunities to take your experience further. We want to make sure that you get as much out of participating in our program as the children do! We have numerous resources we can share and are happy to make time answer questions and support your educational goals however we can. If you do decide to pursue an internship with us, it is important that you commit to regular attendance throughout the duration of the season.
Professional Development with Fiddleheads
Are you a teacher or administrator interested in observing a class? Want to learn about teaching outdoors? Inquire about up for one of our Professional Visitor Days and spend the day with us.
The day includes a tour with the head of school, observation time in one of our three outdoor classrooms and a picnic lunch (bring from home) debrief with lead teachers.
Email ffschool@uw.edu if you’d like sign up.
