Mentorship Opportunities

Mentoring the next generation is central to our philosophy at Mother Nature Center. We believe every interaction is an opportunity for giving and receiving knowledge, in both directions.

To uphold this core value we maintain a Summer Internship Program and continue to build a Circle of Mentors where youth can be paired in like minded development with knowledgeable community members.

An ode to the committed individuals who’ve joined us in this good work for what is a teacher without a student or a project without many hands and hearts aligned. Time has recorded each thought shared, hands in the soil, sweat from the brow… our utmost gratitude.
