1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
- San Dimas Canyon Nature Center
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
- Max. He has been employed at the nature center for more than five years. He knows almost everything about every animal at the nature center and is the teacher for the junior ranger programs that are held throughout the year. He's passionate about what he does and is interested in continuing to work with animals.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year?
- 65
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
- If I volunteer during the week, I usually clean out the cages and feed the animals. Sometimes I interact with some of them so they aren't confined in one area. If there's a good amount of people, we take out one or two animals to show the kids. On Saturdays, I usually do the same thing. However, we do go down to the park and invite the public to the free presentations at 1. I think my mentor and I work pretty well with each other. He's not always at the nature center, but he's willing to help when I need anything. I've already completed my hours, but I will continue to volunteer because I enjoy helping out. I want to try volunteering at other nature centers to see what they might do differently.
