We are proud to announce the start of the Teen Environmental Club (TEC) at the Staten Island Museum.

The club will be opened to any teenager (13-18) residing or going to school on Staten Island and who want to help make a difference to the local and global Environment. 

Club activities are still in the planning stage. Please take a moment to fill out the to help Club organizer plan up-coming activities.

Activities will include (please read before you take the survey):

On-line Participation:  Club members will be encouraged to use the TEC website to interact via Forums and Blogs.  Monthly questions will be posted to encourage Teens learn about "Green Living" and other ways to learn how to live an environmentally sustainable life-style.

Habitat Restoration/Beach Clean-ups: Each month the club will pick a different Staten Island park or beach to clean-up or help remove invasive plants.

Recycling Workshops:  Teens will learn what to recycle and how to go about setting up a recycling program at their home and/or school.

Citizen Science Projects:  Become a scientist!  Club members will participate various projects where we will go out and look for and count different types of animals, including doves, dragonflies and "sea"-gulls

Letter Writing Campaigns: With help from Museum staff, Club members will compose Letters In-support of Environmental Issues that concern them and then get other students in their school to sign copies before mailing them to our local elected officials.

In-Museum Studies:  Club participants will learn the basics of plant and bug identification during workshops using real Museum specimens and with guidance from Museum experts.

Ecology Walks:  Club participants will be encouraged to attend the monthly Ecology Walks offered by the Museum's Nature Section.  On walks, teens will get to interact with and learn from experienced Naturalist.

Public Out-reach:  Teens will be given the chance to present their work and efforts with a table display at various fairs and events around Staten Island and the City.
