Earthwatch Teen Teams Recruiting Now
Dear Earthwatcher,
As the world faces extraordinary challenges, a new generation is stepping up as leaders of change. Earthwatch’s Teen Teams give 16 and 17 year-olds a chance to take part and become the environmental leaders of the 21st century.
More than 15 Teen Team expeditions to the world’s most beautiful and endangered areas empower teens to make a difference, to help save species, habitats, and cultures--not just see them as tourists or students on a standard field trip would do.
Guided by trained, experienced field researchers and Facilitators, Teen Teams get to:
* do something that really matters during school vacations and summer break
* be mentored and inspired by famous scientists and rising graduate student researchers
* fulfill community service or winter term requirements, and get great material for application essays
* learn field science and archaeology skills on more than 15 projects in 11 countries worldwide.
With nearly 40 years of respected expertise in leading field expeditions, Earthwatch provides the key resources that teens, their parents, and their teachers need.
If you’re interested in helping teens become the leaders we need, email us or call 800-776-0188 for more information. Teen Teams for the summer of 2009 and beyond are booking now, and spaces are limited.
If you’ve gone on an expedition, you know the life-changing experience in store for any volunteer. Consider the gift of a Teen Team Expedition as a 16th or 17th birthday gift for the teens in your life—a gift that will literally mean the world to them. You can also set up an Expedition Fund in a special teen’s name and get others to contribute.
Check out some of the things the teens in your life can get up to this summer with Earthwatch:
Kayaking the waters off British Columbia to study grey whales in their summer feeding areas
Hiking through Madagascar’s forests studying a mysterious predator, the endangered fossa
Saving a tropical rainforest in Puerto Rico—and all the creatures there—through sustainable forestry studies
Wading through Barnegat Bay to protect diamondback terrapins
It’s their world—and it’s waiting for them.
P.S. Earthwatch also offers competitive grants for teachers and students. Email us or call 1-800-776-0188 x265 for more information.
