The Delaware State Parks Work-Based Learning Program offers team-based volunteer work-based learning in Delaware State Park locations throughout the school year for high school juniors and seniors with an interest in environmental stewardship or conservation. The program seeks to engage Delaware students in meaningful, hands-on park projects as a means of connecting academic work with practical job readiness skills in a real-world workplace environment.
Time slots are available 5 days a week in northern and southern region parks. See below for more information and to find the opportunity that’s right for you!
