MEETS: (10) Thursday evenings, 6:00 – 8:00pm, from February 15 – May 2 (no class March 28, or April 4)

Classes will be held in person at CCETC, 615 Willow Ave unless it becomes necessary to hold a class over Zoom.

 

Help reduce waste, protect the environment, and improve gardens by teaching others to compost in Tompkins County!

 

Join other enthusiastic volunteers for 10 in-depth, weekly classes, and ~2 hours/week of practical learning outside of class.

After training, use your new compost know-how and teaching experience to help others in the community.
