Volunteer: Volunteer Opportunity: Missouri River Days – Jefferson City School DistrictLast school year, we brought this field trip to life for the first time in Jefferson City, and we can't wait to do it again! This year, Missouri River Relief is once again bringing its Missouri River Days field trips to the Jefferson City School District, giving local 4th graders an unforgettable day of learning and discovery on the Missouri River. During these half-day adventures, students will: Explore the journals of Lewis & Clark and create watercolor sketches to take home Use the cottonwood forest as a living laboratory to study Missouri River bottomland plants Meet river scientists and get up close with native fish while learning about ecosystem health Take in spectacular river views while learning about river channelization To make these days run smoothly, we need 30 volunteers each day. You can help all day (8:30 AM – 2:00 PM) or choose a half-day shift (8:30–12:30 or 12:00–2:30). Volunteer roles include: Fitting life jackets Assisting boat drivers as deckhands Leading short lessons with 4th graders Supporting staff to keep kids safe and engaged Here’s the link to sign up: https://www.pinwheel.us/register/index/2026-mrr-crew-signup This is a one-of-a-kind chance to connect with kids in our community through hands-on learning, outdoor adventure, and the magic of the Missouri River.
