In addition, the education
coordinator will serve on the
beach as a Rocky Shore inter-
preter, and off the beach with
HRAP events and education.
The position, which is su-
pervised by the program co-
ordinator, pays $13 per hour
and will average 25 hours per
week, not to exceed 1,000
hours per year. Applications
are due Jan. 5.
The City Council decided
to fund the position from Feb-
ruary through June 30 (the

“It’s so time-consuming,”
said Ferber, who worked as
the volunteer coordinator
and education intern for two
straight years before stepping
up as program coordinator in
November 2013. “The reality
is, I don’t have time to do it.
I learned my limitations this
year.”
Making sure the educa-
tion of school children runs
smoothly — so that the stu-
dents learn the lessons prop-
erly, have their questions
answered and leave thinking
about their experience at Hay-
stack Rock — takes a lot of
work, said Maryann Sinkler,
a former Friends of Haystack
Rock board member.
To separate the education
part from the volunteer co-
ordination part into two staff
positions is “really ideal in
my opinion,” Sinkler said.
Ferber said that having the
new stand-alone position can
help the program evolve on
the education front.
“We should continue to
ask ourselves, ‘Is this the best
way that we should be teach-
ing the kids? Is there another
activity that may engage the
kids more?’”
