Nature Rangers is launching After-School Programs from Montecito to Goleta in the Fall and we are looking for staff to train with us this summer and roll out our programs in September!
ABOUT US
At Nature Rangers, we facilitate nature games, science quests and engage in nature-based art, while taking an active roll in the social-emotional development of children. We use nature to help children discover "The Wild Within", sparking a curiosity for what motivates their behavior and emotions through games and play, while also using nature to explore "The Wild Beyond", sparking a curiosity for cause and effect in the natural world, observing and investigating nature's processes. Learn more at naturerangers.org.
