Ecology Career Club & Explorer Post
NBC has formed a high school Ecology Career Club and Explorer Post at UpperNewportBay. Exploring (http://www.ocexploring.org) is part of the Learning for Life career education program for young men and women who are 14/15 through 20 years old. Exploring’s purpose is to provide experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.
Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate an Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community.
