Team Building Exercises...

Students discuss their experiences from team building and leap into a discussion about the environment and the things that affect their way off life as they await a presentation from James King. I had a chance to sit with him and ask him a couple of questions. This is what he had to say to them:

1. Being that most of the students to the ET program are new do you think your presentation had an impact on the students today? 


“Yes, I received great feedback. I like the give and take conversations we had about diversity in the outdoors. The ET youth really did open up about the barriers they face in getting into outdoors.”-James King Jr. 



2. How did you get involved with Earth Tomorrow and the Environment and what is your occupation?

“Mrs. Na'Taki Osbourne-Jelks asked me last year to help with the ET program camp-out. Also to mentor the peer mentors in talking about diversity in the outdoors/job opportunities being a college students and the transition of the high school youth in becoming young environmentalist.”-James King Jr.


3. What is the coolest part of your job?

“I just started interning for the National Parks Service Southeast Regional Office Headquarters. The most intriguing part of my internship is learning about the National Heritage Areas. I am a huge nature/history buff.”-James King Jr.
