Ignite your passion for birds and

Become a Flying WILD
Volunteer Facilitator or Educator
Find a Workshop Today!
To become a certified Flying WILD facilitator or educator you will need to attend a Flying WILD workshop. Flying WILD City Partners located in select cities across the nation host Flying WILD training workshops throughout the year. Participants gain experience in hands-on activities from the activity guide that teaches basic biology, identification and ecology, bird conservation, and service learning activities. By attending a Flying WILD workshop, you receive the curriculum guide to take back to your school or organization.
Check the listing below for the next workshop nearest you. If you don’t see a workshop scheduled for your area, contact the closest Flying WILD City Partner or the Flying National Office at flisascee@aol.com to submit a training request.
Educator Professional Development Workshops:
Help your urban middle-school students excel academically with a program that engages students in real inquiry and meets national science standards. Provide an easy and flexible bird education curriculum for your organization's youth program that gets young people outside in nature.
- Educator workshop minimum length is three hours but can be four or more.
- Workshop may be credited toward continuing professional education requirements for the state.
Volunteer Facilitator Workshops:
Flying Wild facilitators care about birds, the environmental literacy of our youth and want to make a meaningful contribution to their community. Flying WILD facilitators make it easy for educators to teach their students about birds and their conservation. Facilitators plan and lead educator workshops within the geographic region of their designated
Flying WILD City Partner.
- Facilitator workshop minimum length is eight hours.
- Previous experience leading environmental education programs, formal or non-formal, is beneficial but not required.
