Description
Teen Volunteers recieve full training on how to assist staff with our public programs featuring live beach creatures and pollinators like butterflies and moths. These young people act as role models for our young visitors and are passionate about learning all about local ecosystems and want to share their knowledge with others on how to protect the environment.
Training includes a half-day on the beach, a half-day orientation at Joppa Flats and a full run-through of our Meet Beach Creatures program. Teens will choose three half-day shifts in July and early August where they can apply their training and work with the public and live animals.
Interested youth must participate in an informal "meet and greet" with a parent or guardian to answer questions and learn more about their role with our programs.
