Skylarks for Schools
The Green Team’s Skylarks for Schools programme is open to girls and non-binary young people aged 12-18.
Meeting once a week over the school term, the group works together to make practical improvements to greenspaces and take part in a range of activities that help to develop skills and build confidence and resilience.
Skylarks participants enjoy spending time in beautiful outdoor places, learning about nature and making improvements for wildlife.
Skylarks encourages positive wellbeing through environmental volunteering, gentle nature connection and spending time with others.
The programme promotes confidence and the development of outdoor and social skills.
Skylarks also supports the achievement of the JAS Award, Volunteering and Skills sections of the DofE Award, and John Muir Award.
More about Skylarks for Schools
Projects are led by the Skylarks Project Co-ordinator and are supported by adult volunteers. In a safe and supportive environment, girls can just be themselves, exploring and experiencing new things without fear or anxiety.
The programme is about having fun experiences in the outdoors, making new friends and a positive difference to the environment.
We provide tools and equipment, waterproofs/boots if required and full safety instructions for the task ahead. Transport is provided by minibus from a central location.
There is also a Skylarks open programme which runs once a month on Saturdays throughout the year, with some full weekend residentials.
