Internships at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
This opportunity is for 8th through 12th grade students.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is an easy commute from many boroughs…
Dear Friends of Brooklyn Botanic Garden:
Do you know any teens who enjoy getting their hands dirty? Who want to work with other teens and learn about science and urban farming?
We are now accepting applications for the Garden Apprentice Program (GAP) at Brooklyn Botanic Garden - a great way for students to learn about urban agriculture and the environment while working in one of the most exciting public gardens in the world! Apprentices can work their way up the four-tier program, potentially earning a paid position as a Senior Apprentice. Applications are due December 5.
BBG’s Garden Apprentices:
- Work with children, behind-the-scenes with staff, or with Garden visitors
- Learn about botany, environmentalism, and protecting the earth
- Grow, harvest, and cook their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the Children's Garden
- Explore in depth Brooklyn Botanic Garden's plant collections and greenhouses
- Develop job skills, including teamwork, communication, and responsibility
Apprentices make a nine-month commitment to GAP, from March to November, which includes spring training, summer programming, and a weekly commitment afterschool or on weekends throughout the academic year.
Come to our Open House to find out more: Saturday, November 10, 1pm.
RSVP requested: 718-623-7252 or gap@bbg.org.
