Squirrel leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Squirrels the best it can be. Some lead the Drey week in and week out. Others visit occasionally to help run a session or drop in to share their skills. No matter how much time you have to spare, find out about volunteering on your own terms.
