Our wonderful Cape Breton YNC volunteers Kim and Britta have retired after a couple years of leading awesome nature learning events. We’re looking for new volunteers to take over leading the chapter. If you’re outdoorsy, have an interest in natural history, and have 3-5hrs/month to share, this club is for you!

Young Naturalists Club Chapter Leaders are responsible for organizing our monthly youth- and family-oriented events and ensuring a safe and fun experience. Each month, the leader(s) find a cool natural space to visit and organize member families into a guided hike, talk, or any other natural history learning activity the group is interested in! Events can take place anywhere on the island and feature any natural history subject from forests to mushrooms to sharks to the stars! Kim and Britta mostly focused on the West but new Leaders would be welcome to host events anywhere they like. And we’re here to support you! Our provincial Coordinator helps the Leader(s) to find guest speakers for events, provides the chapter with any special materials they might want like native plants or bird houses, and is generally just there to assist the Leader(s) with whatever they might need.
