[nabs-l] Seeking Adult Mentors for Summer Science Spectacular

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

The National Federation of the Blind of Michigan is currently looking for
one or two male adult mentors to round out our group of mighty mentors for
Summer Science Spectacular. This summer youth program is geared for students
ages 12 - 18 years old, and will conduct science research and observations
at the University of Michigan Dearborn Environmental Interpretive Center.
This 300 acre natural habitat was once a part of the home farm for Henry and
Clara Ford. Students will also learn the physics behind the gears of a
bicycle, and the game of baseball during an outing to a Detroit Tigers
baseball game.

 

The ideal candidate for a male adult mentor would be someone who enjoys
working outside in nature while possessing good skills of blindness. A
background in natural sciences is a plus, but not necessary for this
position. The major role of this position is to ensure all children
participate in program activities while Presenting a positive role model for
the students who participate in this program.

 

The Summer Science Spectacular is set to run from July 28, 2014 through
August 1, 2014. This summer youth program would definitely be great to
include on a resume for those who cannot commit to a summer long volunteer
program, internship, or summer job.  Please contact donna Posont at
donnabutterfly50 at gmail.com <mailto:donnabutterfly50 at gmail.com>  or
313-220-8140 for more information or to apply for this position.
