What Does the Junior Ranger Service Corps do?
The Junior Ranger Service Corps meets twice a month. One meeting will be a learning experience and the second meeting will be an opportunity to contribute and serve the community. For example: there may be a learning experience on New Bedford's role in the Underground Railroad. Then later that month, members would have the opportunity to set up an exhibit in the Visitor Center displaying something they discovered during their learning experience.
Junior Ranger Service Corps members assist with an activity at the Working Waterfront Festival.
