Methilhill Community Children's Initiative is a community led group dedicated to providing local children and P young people with opportunities to play, learn and grow.
Based within the Methilhill Community Learning Garden, they operate a programme of activities including garden-based activities, local youth clubs and outreach sessions to schools and organisations.
They have been running for 10 years, and were founded by local parents and community members who wanted to provide local children with community based experiences. Community spirit together with meaningful learning is at the heart of everything they do.
Volunteering opportunities exist within pre-school groups Nature Tots – Monday & Friday 9-11.30am, Nature Nursery – Tuesday &Thursday 8.45-11.45am & 11.45-2.45pm
You can come along to some/all of the time and one or all of these groups to gain skills and experience of working with under 5s. They also have groups for Primary 1-7 young people, see separate details of their Outdoor Adventurers and Youth club.
MCCI offer a friendly atmosphere and supportive team. All groups are based outdoors.
