PCEC

Summer Volunteers!!

Students can become involved in environmental science thru a hands-on program
where they will participate in field research, data collecting and data analysis of
important environmental projects run by PCEC.  Students from grades 7-12 will spend
a few days helping out and working with lead scientists on important projects that
address present environmental issues.  Students will learn, by a hands-on approach,
research skills that will challenge those students interested in scientific research, and
in particularly environmental research.  Students will benefit from field experience
and learn useful techniques that will help them in the future.  This is a great
opportunity for students to step out of the classroom and get involved in
environmental field research.  They will be given the chance to not only develop
science skills but also communication and leadership skills.  To apply you must fill out
an application form and have 2 letters of recommendation from your teachers.   If you
are interested please click on the link below and fill out an application, only a few
spots are available each year.
