After a summer learning through teaching, many youth volunteers choose to continue their service throughout the school year. They team up with aquarium staff to develop their own ocean advocacy initiative to help teach their peers and aquarium visitors about marine conservation. The program draws high school age students from as far away as Portland, and seems to provide an important summer- time social network — espe- cially for homeschooled kids. To complete an application to join the aquarium’s volunteer teams, visit the website www.aquarium.org, or contact the aquarium’s volunteer serv- ices department by email at volunteer@aquarium.org. Kid Scoop runs every Wednesday during the school year in the Siuslaw News and features educational stories and fun activities for families. The activity page is part of the Siuslaw News’ Newspapers In Education program, in which teachers from Siuslaw and Mapleton school districts may request copies of the local paper to use as curriculum in their classroom.
