What will T.I.N. be like?
With T.I.N., you will be learning cool stuff and having adventures in Durham. You will volunteer your time with local organizations to experience what people in different environmental fields do. Here are just a few topics we will explore:
· Nature Awareness
· Stream Monitoring
· Forest Management
· Animal research and conservation
Leadership and Job Skills:
· Apply problem solving skills to real life
situations
· Generate community within a group
· Enhance communication skills
· Develop planning skills
As mentioned before we will treat this as volunteer work as the fee is just to cover gas and other expenses, so they are volunteering for the agencies.
