[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd look for organizations in your community where she can volunteer and make an impact locally. My daughter is an ES major (not T10) and enjoyed participating in our region's "Master Naturalist" program. It was not a typical teen activity since everyone else in the program was age 40+. She had to do a semester of training (weekly class for 3 months + weekend field trips and a project) and then worked with a variety of environmental organizations in the community. [/quote] ^^Also, they don't allow teens to take the training alone so I had to sit in on the classes with her and chaperone on all the field trips. It was interesting for me, but definitely a barrier to participation for some. She wasn't aiming for elite schools but it was helpful in exposing her to different types of environmental organizations and making connections with adults in the field. [/quote]
