Project: Make the difference in a school child's education and turn their lessons into something they'll remember for the rest of their lives! School group program volunteers assist MSHP Staff with hands-on interpretive presentations to 4th grade school classes. These activities introduce children to the tactile reality of Monterey's history and contextualize their lessons. Activities include rope making, tortilla cooking, cartography, leather branding, and playing with historic games and toys.
Shifts are from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. or 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the School Program seasons. The active School Program seasons run from January to May and September to November. Training is provided for all volunteers.
