These new docent programs will help LEFDP achieve our mission of helping local under served youth build confidence in learning to be active caretakers of themselves, their community and their environment.  In addition, the programs serve to further our mission in providing an arena for adults to participate in our programs.  The trainings provided for the positions will include teach outdoor education techniques, sustainable agriculture theory and hands on organic farming skills.
