The P.I.N.E. Environmental Leadership Program engages High School Students (ages 16-18) in a program designed to increase experience and skills in the outdoors, while working in a mentoring relationship with P.I.N.E. staff to help develop leadership, teaching, and group management skills with youth.

The program provides mentoring opportunities with P.I.N.E. staff to gain experience and understanding with the curriculum, and supporting personal study and knowledge development on their own time.

Successful applicants will be expected to devote 3-6 hours per week helping run after school programs in the west end of Toronto, and working with P.I.N.E. staff on personal, leadership and skill development, program development, and program delivery.

Activities include:

• Planning and preparation of games, activities, and resources
• Nature study and development of environmental knowledge base
• Seasonal community environmental projects
• Survival skills such as friction fires, shelter making, wild edibles, tracking and more!
• SO MUCH FUN!
