Are you are a middle or high school student between the ages of 13 and 17 who's looking for an exciting and rewarding activity? Do you want to learn about plants, nature, and science? Do you enjoy the outdoors? Would you enjoy mentoring and working with young children? If you answered yes to any of these questions, check out The New York Botanical Garden's Explainer Program.
The Garden's Intern Explainer Program offers a great opportunity to make new friends, learn about plants, develop new skills, and receive personal mentoring and hands-on training. In return, you volunteer your time in the Everett Children's Adventure Garden to help facilitate programs and offer assistance to visitors of this world-class institution.
Expectations of an Explainer:
Volunteer 125 hours over a six-month period (at least one 4 1/2 hour shift once a week.
Attend four training sessions (hours are counted toward the required 125)
Visit their open house on May 22 at from 2-4 pm for more information.
