Summer Youth Volunteer Application
Due April 30, 2010

Teens from 15 to 17 who are interested in the natural and cultural history of the Big Bend play an important role at the Museum, working with staff and adult volunteers in a wide variety of positions.

It’s a great opportunity to learn and have fun. All a volunteer needs is a willingness to learn new things, enthusiasm and a love of the outdoors.

Youth volunteers can gain valuable hands-on experience and earn community service hours for clubs and scholarships. All youth volunteers are encouraged to develop their own skills and interests.

Members of the Volunteer Youth Team commit to a three-hour shift at least one Saturday a month. Additional opportunities are available for projects and special events. Youth volunteers who can’t commit to year-round volunteering may volunteer with summer camp or at our fossil dig site and Discovery Center.

Are you:

• Between 15 and 17 years old?
• Interested in working with children and/or have an interest in local history and wildlife?
• Looking for a way to have fun, learn new things, and earn community service hours this summer?

Positions available:

• Summer Camp Volunteers assist instructors with campers between June 7 and August 20, 2010
• Summer Volunteer Youth Team members staff at the Museum’s Fossil Dig Site and Discovery Center between June 7 and August 20, 2010
