he Every Kid in the Everglades Program (EKIP) is an environmental education program that connects fourth-grade students to Everglades National Park. Thanks to our volunteers, we can welcome over 90 fourth-grade classes to the park! Volunteers will be stationed at one of six "field lab" tables on topics including alligators, birds, water, fire, invasive species, and periphyton. The EKIP Program will run four days a week, Monday-Thursday, from mid-October to mid-March. Each program day will last approximately 4 hours, plus travel. Locations for this program include Royal Palm (40001 State Road 9336, Homestead, FL 33034) and Shark Valley (36000 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33194). All volunteers must attend a training session on either of the following dates: September 14, September 25,
