Missouri Botanical Garden - Summer 2010
What is SAGE?
SAGE stands for Students as Garden Educators. SAGE is a high
school service program in which students can lead fun activities about plants
and nature for our Children’s Garden visitors. They will work hand-in-hand with
staff in the Children’s Garden, facilitating the use of Germination
Station.
Who can participate?
St. Louis area
students, ages 14–18, can participate. Volunteers should be out-going, willing
to work outside during summer months, eager to learn new material and share
their knowledge with others.
What are the benefits?
Students can improve your public speaking and teaching
skills, learn about plants and nature, meet students from other schools,
enhance future college and job applications and earn 50 hours of community
service!
What are the expectations?

What about
training?
An orientation
will be held on April 24 and May 8th and to familiarize students with the SAGE
program, volunteering at the Garden, interpretation and the Children’s Garden.
Training will occur as the students volunteer: they will be required to shadow
Children’s Garden staff at a new station for two hours before offering the
activities themselves. A packet of background information will be available
with each station as well. Students can be trained on just one station, or all
seven if they wish.
