We are seeking adults, individuals, teachers, organizations and youth to review materials. Our team is developing the Junior Ranger Program for Ages 5-13 under the guidance of the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park (HART) at the National Park Service. The Junior Ranger Program contains stories and activities, in digital and print, about Harriet Tubman’s life during her 50+ years in freedom in Auburn, New York from 1859 – 1913.
Youth will read stories about her home, the importance of family and faith to Harriet Tubman and her work as a community organizer. There will also be stories about how she attended services for 22 years at the Thompson Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, located behind her burial site at Fort Hill Cemetery.
This volunteer opportunity is open to all: Adults, Individuals, Teachers, Organizations, Youth of Any Age.
Minimum time commitment: 30 minutes
Timeframe: February – April 2022
The Harriet Tubman National Historical Park (https://www.nps.gov/hart/index.htm) is newly established and focuses on the epic history and accomplishments of Harriet Tubman during her 50+ years in freedom in Auburn, New York. This portion of Tubman’s legendary story is much less well-known. It includes her work as a philanthropist, suffragist, and community organizer. She helped build and nurture the Black community in Auburn and supported Black schools in the South. She created the Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes–one of the first nursing homes for African Americans in the United States, helped start the National Association of Colored Women, and pledged monies to build the Thompson Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church where she attended services for 22 years, was buried from, and is now a part of HART. Please visit (https://www.nps.gov/hart/index.htm) for more information.
