You will help a teacher by joining them at Franklin for the bus trip to Portland State and then lead part of the class in a self-guided tour. We need at least one chaperone per trip. Two would be a bonus.

If you are familiar with PSU, that is a plus! If not, that is fine. The program coordinator, Pam Garrett, will share the info for the self-guided tour before the event.
