Summer Mentorship Program Wrapping up
We want to thank our summer mentees for their hard work, enthusiasm, and growth this summer. Our mentees assisted with all summer programing, including classes, Nature Plays, volunteer work parties, and weekends. They developed skills that will allow them to be even better leaders, nature explorers, and residents of our community. Thank you mentees for your originality, fun energy, and new ideas!
We are happy to say that our mentees got something out of this experience. Below, you can enjoy some testimonials about their experience.
"I would definitely recommend joining to other people like me, as the experiences I had were fun. I never expected this to be such a genuine time. This was a good place to work during the summer, to give me an idea of what an actual job would be like, and I think this instilled a sense of responsibility within me. " - Enar Z.
"I wanted to do the mentee program because it seemed like a lot of fun, and my brother had done it the year before and really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed doing the program and learning all about the animals and nature stuff here... I learned how to be able to adapt and learn new things quickly while I worked here. I really enjoyed working at the Nature Center and hope to do it again." - Liberty A.
"I plan to study wildlife biology after I complete high school. It was super exciting for me to be able to gain experience in the field of work I aspire to pursue. Working at the Nature Center has deepened my passion for the natural world." - Lydia D.
"I think this [experience] will help when or if I go into anything that teaches young children. Thank you for having such a wonderful program so I can learn, teach, and grow." - Megan G.
