The crew gives middle and high school aged students the chance to earn a little money while they learn about their environment and help with the conservation efforts on the Island.

Thank you to Sarah Hansen, Matthew Wickey and Ted Hanrahan for their guidance and organization of the program and crews. The program gives middle and high school kids the opportunity to gain skills, earn money, learn about their environment and gain leadership capabilities.

These young people get a chance to work hard while appreciating how to take care of the natural environment and have some fun as well. The core balances work, education and appreciation of nature nicely. I think it is one of the best programs for middle and high schoolers on the Island.
