Description

Thank you for your interest in VolunTEEN Programs with Delaware State Parks! VolunTEEN is a volunteer program for young adults between the ages of 13 and 18. VolunTEEN will work in groups of 5, with a minimum of one staff member. Over the summer, VolunTEEN will team up with our Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) to tackle a variety of park projects ranging from invasive plant removal and litter pick up, to painting and cleaning. 

Today's project: Join other teens as we scrub away dirt and grime from tombstones! Cleaning will be at Bethesda Church cemetery. We will also be cutting back encroaching plants alongside the cemetery.
