TerraCorps members engage with their supervisors to develop and carry out two or more capacity building projects over the course of the service year. Potential projects for the Walden Woods Project's Youth Education Coordinator include:

• Enhance our group visit program and expand its impact beyond our current reach, by a) developing relationships with organizations/audiences that we aren’t currently serving in significant numbers (such as elementary and middle schools, underserved districts, alternative schooling programs), b) building relationships with groups that will visit outside of our busiest weeks of the year, and c) co-creating curriculum that will complement and enhance the group visit experience;  
• Help us to complete and launch “Henry’s Hat,” an interdisciplinary, nature-based curriculum for grades 3-5, which uses Thoreau’s practices of observation, inquiry, writing and critical thinking to engage this age group;
• Develop educational materials that would engage groups in nature-based programming at our property/trails on Bear Garden Hill, just one half-mile from Walden Pond; and
• Other projects that help us to increase the accessibility and effectiveness of our place-based programs for students in Walden Woods, focusing on reaching new audiences and the potential for educational programs at The Farm at Walden Woods, our organic farm adjacent to the historic Walden Woods.
