I enjoyed teaching youth about ecology and conservation. The best part was making the curriculum hands-on by going on hikes in the woods.
What I wish was different
More time to create lesson plans would have been great, but this did not inhibit a quality experience.
Advice
Make lessons exciting and interactive so that participants are engaged. It is best to not have them sitting for too long because kids tend to get distracted. Ask the class questions and make it fun! I loved doing science experiments with my classes, this was a hit.
