Calling all high school students!
The Wakefield Estate has some great opportunities lined up for teenagers to look forward to this summer.
Summer Archaeology Institute
Back by popular demand, we will host our Summer Archaeology Institute aimed at giving metro-Boston area High School students a hands-on opportunity to experience an actual ongoing archaeological project. There are two sessions: Session I: June 14 - June 25; Monday-Friday 9am-3pm and Session II: July 5 - July 16; Monday-Friday 9am-3pm.
For more information and an application, contact Mark Smith at 617-333-0924 or by email.
Wakefield Summer Internships
The Wakefield Estate offers several 6-8 week summer internships to students 16-21 years old interested in learning landscaping. The interns' time will be spent learning and practicing basic skills of landscape maintenance and arboriculture with Wakefield staff. They will be actively involved in the maintenance of this unique landscape and will have the opportunity to listen to invited guests share career experience and insights. Interns must provide their own transportation or car pool with other interns. Interns receive a modest stipend for their work. Some experience working in the landscape is of value but not required. A love for the outdoors, an eye for detail, a cheerful attitude, and a curiosity about nature and history are all helpful. To apply, or to find out more, contact Erica Max at 617-333-0924 x22 or by email. |
