2010 Zoo Teen Information
Youth serving their community in pursuit of environmental awareness and career exploration.
Each year, Zoo Teens (ages 13-16) work alongside staff to create a positive and memorable experience for Zoo visitors. Teens perform a variety of tasks at the Zoo, including Animal Husbandry, Kayaking, Animal Handling, and Public Education. Zoo Teens also volunteer their time for Zoo Camp, fundraisers, and special events.
There are numerous benefits to joining the Zoo Teen Program. Students can use their volunteer experience to meet community service requirements for Florida Bright Futures Scholarships. Teens also have the opportunity to work directly with animals and the public, gaining valuable skills for a variety of careers. Most importantly, Zoo Teens gain an appreciation for the value of volunteer work and community involvement.
Brevard Zoo is now accepting applications through November 13. If selected (decisions are made January 2011), teens are committed to one year of service. Zoo Teens volunteer a minimum of one Saturday per month and 15 hours at Zoo Camp. Call 321.254.9453 x 227 for more information!
