Summer Volunteer Opportunity
Miami EcoAdventures, a division of Miami Dade County Parks that specializes in interpretative nature-based programming for all. We here at Miami EcoAdventures are offering high school students a chance to work closely with our naturalists to create and implement the curriculum at one of our three nature-based camps. We are looking for Junior Naturalists that are motivated, creative, and enthusiastic about nature and must possess a desire to work with youth in an outdoor setting. Junior Naturalists will help plan and lead nature-based activities such as nature walks, environmental education games, and occasionally canoeing/kayaking with campers ranging in ages from 6 to 14 years old.https://miamidadeparks.com/FL/miami-dade-county-parks-recreation/catalog/index?filter=c2VhcmNoPXNlYXNvbmFsJTIwY2FtcCZyZW50YWwlNUJmcm9tJTVEPSZyZW50YWwlNUJ0byU1RD0= Feel free to contact me at (305)-666-5885 or at EcoAdventures@miamidade.gov
