ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

The Museum of Science in Boston has a program for Boston high school 
students to take Boston 2nd grade students on tours of the museum.  
These high school students work as part of a corp of volunteers that 
includes more senior members who, in some cases, end up mentoring the 
high school students.
