Even at such a young age, Derrick has already volunteered over 600 hours at the Museum in various capacities. Just this year, he has volunteered over 500 hours. Derrick is part of the Museum's Youth Partner Program. The program provides volunteer and paid work opportunities throughout the Museum for youth ages 12 through 18. I would recommend being a Youth Partner to my friends because it's a big responsibility and can help them out with life.
Many people work here who have good connections.
The way you present yourself here may help you out in the future. Derrick's experience in the Museum's Animal Department is helping him prepare for his life's ambition. I plan to work here until I graduate high school. Many Museum programs depend on Youth Partners and adult volunteers. Without their services, we simply could not provide as many visitor programs with the high quality for which we are known.
