Teacher Financial Assistance

The Friends will pay for all transportation costs (taxis and ferrys) for field trips in the park, and will pay for a demonstrator or guide.  In addition, thanks to a grant from the National Park Foundation, Friends is able to offer mini-teacher grants ($500) for STEM or conservation materials for field trips or classroom materials including items like microscopes, water testing, and more.  Contact Taylor White at twhite@friendsvinp.org if you have any questions.
