Steve Rosen with the KC Star interviewed one of our interns, Brandon Burdick about his Green Works summer internship at the Discovery Center.
“Brandon Burdick had one heck of a job this summer.
While many teens lined up work lifeguarding, mowing lawns or flipping burgers, Burdick helped round up and tag Canada geese, taught younger children about the tiny creatures that inhabit the banks of a lake and took on landscaping projects using native plants. He even primed his handyman skills on a storage room building project.
“I worked a lot with my hands,” said Burdick, a 16-year-old about to start his junior year at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy.”
Thanks to the Discovery Center and all our internship partner sites including the KC Zoo, KC Care Clinic, Habitat Restore, Heartland Conservation Association, and Lakeside Nature Center. Our students made a difference this summer and gained valuable real-world work experience. And Kansas City is a little greener because of their work! Click here to read the full article.
