    Description

    Storybook Trail Assistant

    The Storybook Trail Assistant will assist the primary Storybook Trail Volunteer by partnering on installing a new book at the Storybook Trail at Wolbach Farm each quarter. Installing the pages in the stands is easier with two people, so this is a great volunteer opportunity for partners.

    Responsibilities:

    • Laminate pages from the book and install in stands along the Storybook Trail.
    • Maintain the trail stands and ensure they are clean and well-presented, reporting any signs of wear or damage to the Events & Engagement Manager.
    • Print and hang flyers at the kiosk, office entrance, and trailhead promoting the new book.

    Skills Needed:

    • Passion for children’s literature and nature.
    • Ability to walk approximately 1 mile mile along the Storybook Trail.
    • Comfort using a cordless drill, cleaning stands, and carrying supplies.
    • Attention to detail in laying out and laminating pages.

    Logistics:

    • Training Provided: Orientation with SVT staff regarding book selection and setup.
    • Hours: 4-6 hour commitment once per season.
    • Duration: Seasonal (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter).
    • Location: Wolbach Farm, Sudbury
    • Reports to: Events & Engagement Manager
