Teens! Here is a neat, paid Summer opportunity! The Public Archaeology Facility at Binghamton University (SUNY) are seeking youth participants (ages 15-26) to receive training as archaeological site monitors. These individuals would be hired for a period of three weeks (July 11-29). We are seeking youth participants who have an interest in stewardship of our national historical sites, and ideally live in the Poughkeepsie/Hyde Park area (or have reliable transportation to t...he area; local transportation will be provided). They have partnered with the National Park Service in a pilot archaeological monitoring program for the Summer of 2022. The program will be located at the Hyde Park, NY NPS historical sites (Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historical Site, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historical Site, and Vanderbilt Mansion National Historical Site) with trips to the Martin Van Buren National Historic Site in Kinderhook.
