Opportunity Summary 

Come share your love and passion for the environment with the youth in the Pajaro Valley! At the beginning of each school year, Watsonville Wetlands Watch recruits and hires 12 high school youth from Pajaro Valley High School to take part in a year-long internship called Wetland Stewards. These 12 high school mentors meet weekly with staff to learn wetland lessons and activities that they then replicate in the afterschool program through the PVUSD Expanded Learning Program. The Wetland Stewards after-school program is a unique opportunity that provides CSUMB Service Learning students the opportunity to support our high school mentors as they share what they are learning about the Wetlands of Watsonville with elementary students.

1 service learner

Opportunity Training 

The ideal candidate can partake in the weekly training that we do with our high school interns on Tuesdays after school from 4-6 pm at our Wetlands Education Resource Center at Pajaro Valley High School- 500 Harkins Slough Rd. Other possibilities for training could be an 8-week plan shared beforehand with all of the educational activities and experiences that the CSUMB SL student can support our high school interns with. WWW staff are available by email, phone, or virtual meetings to fill in interns with supportive material and skill-building of our use of different educational techniques.

Weekly check-ins, documentation of different educational delivery methods used at WWW, sharing of lesson plans and activity writeups, and feedback will be provided.
