Isabel LaCourse - TRK Education Coordinator
Nothing makes me happier than being outside learning about the world around me, and when I get to share that experience with kids… you've created my perfect day. Helping students connect with the world around them has been both my passion and work for over thirteen years. I started as a volunteer with Title VII Indian Education, and since then I’ve been working with students of all ages and abilities, to discover the value of nature through hands on experiences. As the new Environmental Education Coordinator, I’ll be building on the foundation of of TRK's relevant and fun programming, and mix in my background in garden education, traditional practices, and leadership development to make all of our education programs truly extraordinary experiences!
