Marsh Young Volunteer Awards with RBGK
These Awards will recognise members of the Youth Explainer volunteer programme at Kew Gardens.
The programme is for 14-17 year olds from a range of backgrounds and abilities, many of whom would not have visited Kew before. The young people are encouraged to make their own learning resources, to engage the public with the Gardens, and are given the opportunity to shadow adult volunteers.
There are three Awards: Most Committed, Best Learner and Best Team Player
