TEEN Volunteers



Teen Environmentalists Exploring Nature (TEEN) is a group of 13 to 17-year-olds who volunteer their time and talents at the Desert Botanical Garden.
Through offsite service learning projects or onsite volunteering, the TEENs are making a difference in environmental education and conservation within the greater Phoenix community.
What can you do as a TEEN Volunteer? Here are just a few of the ways you can get involved:
- Attend fun TEEN trainings and meetings
- Explore Sonoran Desert topics and artifacts with visitors in the Garden
- Teach children science through hands-on activities
- Participate in environmental service projects
- Earn service hours for school or club requirements
- Help with festivals and special programs
