Agriculture In The Classroom
by Jared Bento 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi Plant Grads, Consider volunteering with Agriculture In The Classroom this March - even meeting one classroom helps! AITC is currently short on volunteers - there are 184 classrooms registered this March and only 60 volunteers to accommodate (volunteers can make as many presentations as they'd like). There are also 33 French presentation requests and only 10 accounted for. See the attachments for more information. AITC is a fulfilling and refreshing experience, as well as a great addition to any CV! Thank you, and happy new year, Jared Bento, AITC Volunteer B.Sc.
