Volunteers needed for Classroom Agricultural Program
LETHBRIDGE – The Classroom Agricultural Program (CAP) is looking for volunteers for this year’s programs to help Alberta students understand agriculture and its impacts.
CAP is presented to grade four students across Alberta at no charge, between March and June of each year. Volunteers deliver the program through story-telling and fun activities.
Students learn about the food they eat and where it comes from. The program also highlights the vast opportunities in agriculture and the people, producers and industries that drive this trade.
The province is divided into 12 zones and each zone has its own coordinator, who is the volunteers’ go-to-person to acquire materials, help with presentations and talk about any problems they might have.
