The Garden Apprentice Program at Brooklyn Botanic Garden provides students in grades 8 through 12 with training and volunteer placements focused on gardening, environmental issues, science, leadership, and career skills. Apprentices become an important part of the garden's education department.

The New York Botanical Garden's Explainer Program accepts middle and high school students between the ages of 13 and 17 who want to learn about plants, nature, and science and who enjoy the outdoors. The program offers the opportunity to learn about plants, develop new skills, and receive personal mentoring. Explainers also help younger children who visit the Everett Children's Adventure Garden.

MillionTreesNYC: Students and families can participate in citywide volunteer tree planting and tree care workshops. The program is a public-private initiative launched by the City of New York Parks Department and New York Restoration Project with the goal of planting one million new trees across all five boroughs over the next decade.
