Hello, my name is Daniel LeTexier, a recent graduate from Toccoa Falls College with a double major in Secondary English Education and Bible & Theology. This summer I worked as an Education Apprentice from June through early August.
In partnership with Minnesota Sea Grant and the North Central Regional Aquaculture Center, (NCRAC), Spark-Y Interns developed and filmed two instructional videos relating to tilapia - a popular fish used in aquaponic systems.
The Program Manager (PM) will be integral to Spark-Y’s program success, responsible for the development journey of all education staff, from onboarding programs, to conducting annual performance reviews, to managing ongoing development projects within the organization. Help lead the programming branch of Spark-Y, ensuring optimal performance and success of its mission through all school partnerships.
In partnership with the City of Minneapolis and the Lyndale neighborhood, Spark-Y recently planted the Blaisdell Avenue South bike lane medians with over 2000 native plants. Black-eyed Susan, Fragrant Giant Hyssop, Little Bluestem, Fox Sedge, Golden Alexander, Blue Flag Irises, and Lobelia now grace what was once a bare patch, filled with weeds.
