Environmental Enrichment Program

SIPAT is in URGENT need of a parent or community member (with a DJUSD Sub Credential) who is willing to lead the garden rotation for Lobos Activos on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. This position is accompanied by a stipend. Additionally, we have team members to support you with curriculum and lessons.

Help maintain and beautify the dedicated early-childhood garden spaces designed specifically for our youngest learners.

Assist with seasonal bed preparation, planting, weeding, and infrastructure projects across the main school campus gardens.

The Environmental Enrichment Program (EEP) is hosting a kick-off meeting and first garden work party - families and kids are invited! These are fun weekend morning events and we'll have snacks and coffee. Get your hands dirty in our gardens! EEP manages the green spaces of our school: raised beds, trees, and plantings. This will be a special year as we work to make our campus a friendly habitat for monarch butterflies! No experience or equipment necessary! Come for all or part of the morning; at 11 am on this first meeting we will transition from working in the gardens to discussing plans for the year. An rsvp is appreciated, but not required. **If volunteers are able to bring the following, it would be helpful--but please feel free to show up with none of these! * Wheelbarrows for moving mulch and compost around * Large totes and buckets (for storing and moving compost) * Shovels for moving compost/mulch and for digging out weeds * Hand clippers (for vines) * Loppers for small tree branches *

Partner with teachers to bring outdoor science and ecology lessons to life, helping expand hands-on garden learning across more grade levels.

Step into a co-chair or coordinator role to help schedule work parties, manage garden resources, organize volunteer shifts, or liaise with school staff and SIPAT.
