Internship/Volunteer Opp. Sought

“Okay gang, I've been looking and looking for an opportunity to volunteer doing anything Environmental Studies related but have beeb overwhelmed with the amount of information.

So, I live in NYC - am willing to commute - am not afraid to get dirty - am particularily interested in Wetland Conservation but would be happy with just about any hands-on envirnmental volunteer/intern work.

Help!”

“try going through Prospect Park. Brooklyn. they have a great volunteer program.
call the park and ask for Carol. She is the volunteer coordinator(sp)”

“Do you know anything about the Bronx Zoo's program - becoming a Friends of Wildlife Conservation volunteer?”

“sounds like the same thing at the Aquaruim.

“yeah - i hear yeah - that's exactly why I'm thinking Bronx Zoo - 'cause its close to me

“I'm also bringing this back to the top because I'm hoping someone out there will have a good led....”

“WELL.......if your willing to travel i know a great place on the west coast that is well known for its wetland intership/volenteer programs...(hell i even volenteered there) The Arcata Wetlands/preserve/sewage tratement

“Thanks twinks, I went to Barnes and Noble and picked up a couple of books on Reading/Writing/Lit Art

“The NYDEC should have something for you such as trail maintenance and improvement in the parks. Just an idea.”

“Thought I'd let you guys know that my round of emails to every water-related environmental organization in NYC has started to pay off! I have received three emails, so far, from three terrific organizations that want me to volunteer with them! I'm so stoked! One of the three is absolutely perfect for me too!

"I'm so excited
I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control
and I think I like it
yeah yeah"”

“anyway...I think its cool

“good job, twinks!”
