Maine Audubon delivers a variety of nature-themed programs for kids in Kindergarten through 12th grade. Our educators work with teachers and community leaders to adapt our popular, standards-based Pre-K to 12 programs to the current demands and realities of teaching and learning–including virtual, hybrid, and modified in-person options.
Maine Audubon’s mission involves engaging people, especially youth, in conserving wildlife and wildlife habitat. Partnering with schools, enrichment programs, and community groups has been a core program line for the organization for decades. We specialize in outdoor/experiential learning, NGSS standards, multi-disciplinary curricula, and inspiring a culture of social and environmental responsibility.
We are excited to share our experience and resources to help your students achieve and thrive in these challenging times! We will partner with you to design and deliver customized programming/curriculum for your school or community group. Together, we can adapt our signature programs, community science field studies, or service learning projects to enrich your current units of study.
