Looking to inspire a love of the outdoors and our world’s natural resources in the next generation? In this position, you will work at Delaware Aquatic Resources Education Center’s new facility to lead
educational programs in a beautiful tidal salt marsh. In this position, you will be an integral part of delivering State of Delaware curriculum to diverse 5th grade classes from all over the state through the “Eco-Explorers” program, and you will help present youth fishing events through the “Take a Kid Fishing” program.

“Eco-Explorers” is a salt marsh ecology field trip program for groups of students that runs from late March until the end of May. Field trips occur Tuesday through Friday, between 9 AM and 1:30 PM at the
ARE Center. Youth Fishing Education at the ARE Center is provided through the “Take a Kid Fishing!” program. In this position, you will help other AREC staff and volunteers instruct groups of children and
families during the spring and summer of 2020, and will help with maintaining equipment and other programmatic tasks. Fishing events occur on weekends and some weekdays at the ARE Center and fishing ponds throughout the state. Training for both the “Eco-Explorers” and “Take a Kid Fishing” programs is provided by experienced environmental education staff.

Are you thinking about working on a farm? Do you see a future working with animals, but need some hands-on experience? Our farm internships provide that and much more. All interns take part in the daily operations of the farm, performing a wide array of chores, from feeding and herding farm animals to moving irrigation pipe and bucking hay. Interns also help guide tours, learn the principles of permaculture, help rehabilitate and socialize farm animals, and participate in special projects.

The internship program is a full-time, unpaid position. Sanctuary One provides comfortable housing in a shared living space, with some food staples provided. Interns are responsible for their own food and transportation. Internships run throughout the year, and typically last three to four months; however, some interns have stayed as briefly as six weeks and as long as nine months. Many interns go on to do inspirational things, like working at Best Friends Animal Society or Farm Sanctuary.

The ideal candidate will enjoy the opportunity to volunteer on a care farm where people, animals and the earth work together for mutual healing.
