Volunteer: Warner Parks - Nature Discovery Program - Youth Environmental Education


The Nature Discovery Program is a partnership between Friends of Warner Parks, the Warner Park Nature Center, and Metro Parks Community Centers to reach youth who lack direct access to, and are often underrepresented in, traditional environmental education and outdoor recreation programs. The Nature Discovery Program is activated in a number of ways including:


Nature Detectives Club: an after-school program for youth at Metro Nashville Community Centers. This program provides science-based teachings and empowers kids to explore nature. This program takes place at more than 20 Community Centers throughout Davidson County. 

P.E.N. Pals (People Exploring Nature) Summer Camp: brings youth from Metro Parks Community Centers to the Warner Parks for a full day of nature exploration and outdoor adventure! Youth follow their curiosity as they explore the meadow, pond, and garden ecosystems, hike through the forest, observe wildlife, kayak, learn outdoor skills, search for crawdads in the Little Harpeth River, and create lasting memories in nature. 

P.E.N. Pals (People Exploring Nature) Fall Campfire & Night Hikes: Community Center youth experience the Warner Parks during the fall season. Earlier sunsets and cooler temperatures mean it's time to roast hot dogs, make s'mores, and enjoy time around the bonfire. Youth take a crepuscular hike through the meadows and forests of the Warner Parks and view the night sky while learning about nocturnal creatures. 


*We are looking for college-aged volunteers to participate in any of these branches of the Nature Discovery program, as the youth often find it easier to connect with this age group. This opportunity is wonderful for those who are interested in education, biology, sustainability, or environmental studies.*


Please see below for approximate date ranges throughout the year: 
Nature Detectives: year-round. Typically on a weekday between 3:00pm-5:00pm
P.E.N. Pals Summer Camp: June and July
P.E.N. Pals Fall Campfire & Night Hikes: October


If you are interested in volunteering with any of these opportunities, please contact Arabella Pagan at apagan@warnerparks.org for next steps. A background check may be required.

Volunteer: Literacy and Math Tutors

The GiGi's Playhouse 1:1 Literacy Tutoring Programs uses a methodology with documented success based on research by professionals in the field. The ability to read opens doors for individuals with Down syndrome in the workplace, schools and the community.  Developing reading skills also leads to improvements in speech and language development, auditory perceptual skills and working memory function.  Our goal is to foster a love for reading and provide an opportunity to develop and master skills, all while building a positive relationship with our volunteer tutors.  

The GiGi's Playhouse 1:1 Math Tutoring Program: Building math skills for individuals with Down syndrome increases independence in their school, in the community, and in the workplace.  The aim of this program is to help promote a positive experience of learning mathematics with a sound foundation of basic number understanding.  

Our program is built based on the ways in which individuals with Down syndrome learn best.  Knowing that our participants vary greatly in their abilities and challenges in comprehensive math, we combine multiple approaches that utilize multi-sensory teaching. Graduated levels of purposeful progressions lead to an increase of skills and self-confidence. These methods are aligned with topics taught in the classroom, to provide a comprehensive and cohesive program. 

Trained tutors work at the level of the child, continually challenging and encouraging him/her to reach their Best of All.  Students can start in our program as early as age 3 or any year after that. It's never too late to start!  Weekly lessons last 45-60 minutes for 10-15 weeks at a time.  Family members attend each tutoring session and leave with practical activities to continue the learning at home.

The GiGi's Playhouse 1:1 Literacy Tutoring Programs uses a methodology with documented success based on research by professionals in the field. The ability to read opens doors for individuals with Down syndrome in the workplace, schools and the community.  Developing reading skills also leads to improvements in speech and language development, auditory perceptual skills and working memory function.  Our goal is to foster a love for reading and provide an opportunity to develop and master skills, all while building a positive relationship with our volunteer tutors.  

The GiGi's Playhouse 1:1 Math Tutoring Program: Building math skills for individuals with Down syndrome increases independence in their school, in the community, and in the workplace.  The aim of this program is to help promote a positive experience of learning mathematics with a sound foundation of basic number understanding.  

Our program is built based on the ways in which individuals with Down syndrome learn best.  Knowing that our participants vary greatly in their abilities and challenges in comprehensive math, we combine multiple approaches that utilize multi-sensory teaching. Graduated levels of purposeful progressions lead to an increase of skills and self-confidence. These methods are aligned with topics taught in the classroom, to provide a comprehensive and cohesive program. 

Trained tutors work at the level of the child, continually challenging and encouraging him/her to reach their Best of All.  Students can start in our program as early as age 3 or any year after that. It's never too late to start!  Weekly lessons last 45-60 minutes for 10-15 weeks at a time.  Family members attend each tutoring session and leave with practical activities to continue the learning at home.

Volunteer: Puppy Raiser

**You must live off campus to engage in this opportunity. Additionally, only fully trained service animals are allowed in classrooms, and you should connect with Belmont's Office of Accessibility Services to ensure access.

As a Puppy Raiser, you will play a crucial role in the ongoing development of our puppies, from 8 weeks old until they are ready for advanced training around 2 years old. Unlike the Starter role, which focuses solely on the initial care and basic socialization of young puppies, Raisers are responsible for maintaining and reinforcing the skills these dogs are learning during a longer period of the dogs’ focused training. This role is essential in ensuring our puppies are well-prepared for their future as service dogs.

Responsibilities: Comprehensive Care: Ensure the puppy’s overall well-being by providing daily care, including feeding, toilet training, crate training, socialization and exercise. Your care is vital to the puppy’s physical and emotional health.Skill Maintenance: Focus on maintaining and reinforcing the skills the puppy is being taught during their secondary training phase. This includes practicing cues, behaviors, and socialization techniques to ensure the puppy remains on track with their training goals. Volunteers in this role are required to attend training once a month with their dog for every month they are actively working with our dogs.Advanced Socialization: Continue to expose the puppy to a variety of real-world environments, including work, public places, and social activities. This ongoing exposure helps the puppy develop the confidence and resilience needed for their future role as a service dog.Record Keeping: Fill out a monthly report to help us track the dogs’ behaviors and progress throughout their journey.Furlough: Once the dog is at least 6 months old, they will enter their secondary training home, one of our prison programs. Raisers at this stage will work with their dogs on a furlough by picking up their dog from their pickup location each month for a week at a time. Commitment Levels: 1 Week: Ideal for volunteers looking to dip their toes into puppy raising. 1 Month: Perfect for those wanting a more extended experience to bond with a puppy. 1 year: For the volunteer ready for a full commitment right away! Integrated Care Approach: Whether you are caring for a puppy full-time or during their furlough, your role is to provide consistent care and reinforcement of their training. This integrated approach ensures that the puppy’s learning and development are continuous. The commitment is full-time while the puppy is under 6 months, then shifts to just one week each month. Time Committed: Anywhere from 3 – 12 months. Requirements: 1 training meeting a month while actively raising, 1 general/furlough report a month.Co-Raising Option:

We offer a co-raising option where you can partner with a friend or be matched with another volunteer. This allows you to share responsibilities and enjoy the experience together, making it easier to balance with your other commitments.

Support and Resources:

Throughout your time as a Raiser, you’ll have access to our community of experienced volunteers, trainers, and staff for any support or guidance you may need. Whether you have questions about puppy care or need tips on socialization, we’re here to help you every step of the way. RI will provide food, necessary supplies, and the cost of vet appointments.

Volunteer: Puppy Starter

**You must live off campus to engage in this opportunity. Additionally, only fully trained service animals are allowed in classrooms, and you should connect with Belmont's Office of Accessibility Services to ensure access.


As a Puppy Starter, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work with our youngest puppies, aged 8 weeks to 12 weeks, for short-term periods ranging from 1 week to 1 month. This role is perfect for those looking to experience the joy of puppy raising without the long-term commitment. Starters play a crucial part in the early development of our service dogs by providing foundational care and socialization. Currently we are receiving pre-socialized puppies, so their training should be straightforward as they will already be familiar with house manners.

Responsibilities: Basic Care & Training: Ensure the puppy’s well-being by providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. This includes feeding, toilet training, crate training, and exercise. Household Manners: While the puppies are not yet ready for public access work (no vest required), it’s important to expose them to a variety of household sounds, sights, and experiences within the home and around your neighborhood. This early socialization and focus on good manners helps build the confidence and resilience needed for their future roles as service dogs. Learning and Training Sessions: Review our puppy care manual and complete a short quiz to familiarize yourself with our guidelines. This ensures you’re prepared to provide the best care possible. We will also need you to attend a weekly puppy class with your puppy for each week you are working with them. Commitment Levels: 1 Week: Ideal for volunteers looking to dip their toes into puppy raising. 1 Month: Perfect for those wanting a more extended experience to bond with a puppy. Time Committed: 1 week – 4 weeks. Requirements: 1 training meeting per week with dog. Support and Resources:

Volunteer: Puppy Sitter

**You must live off campus to engage in this opportunity. Additionally, only fully trained service animals are allowed in classrooms, and you should connect with Belmont's Office of Accessibility Services to ensure access.

Puppy Sitters provide essential support by offering temporary care for our service dogs in training when their primary Raisers or other volunteers are unavailable. This role is perfect for those who want to be involved with our dogs on a flexible, as-needed basis. As a Sitter, you’ll help ensure that our dogs continue to receive the care, socialization, and training they need, even during short-term gaps in their regular routine.

Responsibilities: Temporary Care: Provide short-term care for a service dog, ensuring their daily needs are met, including feeding, exercise, and companionship. Your care helps maintain the dog’s well-being during transitions or when their regular caregiver is unavailable. Consistency in Routine: Follow the established routine and guidelines provided by the dog’s Raiser or trainer. This consistency is crucial for maintaining the dog’s training and comfort during their time with you. Basic Training Reinforcement: Continue to practice basic commands and behaviors with the dog to reinforce their training. While Sitters are not responsible for teaching new skills, maintaining existing ones is essential. Volunteers in this role are required to attend a training session once during a 3 month period while they are actively working with our dogs. Socialization: If appropriate, continue to expose the dog to various environments and experiences, helping to maintain their confidence and adaptability. This could include walks in different settings, visits to public places, or other activities that align with their training. Commitment Structure: Flexible Involvement: Sitters are called upon as needed, providing care for varying durations depending on the situation. This could range from a few days to a couple of weeks, offering flexibility for those who cannot commit to long-term involvement. As Needed Availability: Sitters are often contacted on an as needed basis, so flexibility and readiness to step in when needed are key aspects of this role. Time Committed: A few days to a few weeks. Requirements: 1 training meeting a month while actively sitting. Support and Resources: Guidance from Raisers and Trainers: Before taking on the care of a dog, you’ll receive detailed instructions and support from the dog’s primary Raiser or trainer. This ensures you’re fully prepared to provide the necessary care and maintain the dog’s routine. Ongoing Support: Our team is always available to assist with any questions or issues that arise while you’re caring for a dog. Whether you need help with routine adjustments or advice on handling specific situations, we’re here to support you. How Sitters Fit into the Volunteer Program

Unlike Starters and Raisers who are involved in the long-term care and training of our service dogs, Sitters provide critical short-term support. This role is designed for those who prefer or require a flexible commitment but still want to contribute meaningfully to the success of our program. Sitters ensure that our dogs receive continuous care and training reinforcement, even when their regular caregivers are unavailable.
