Expiration Date: ongoing

Description: 

“The Maryland Zoo’s Zoo Teen Program is an exciting way for high school students ages 14-17 to learn about zoos and conservation, explore career opportunities, gain leadership skills, earn service learning hours, meet lifelong friends, and so much more. Participants will receive comprehensive training from Zoo staff, a uniform, and a badge. We will also offer exciting opportunities for professional and personal development.

We are seeking responsible, reliable, consistent, and enthusiastic teens interested in learning about animals, conservation, assisting and engaging guests, and making a difference.

All teen volunteers will start as Zoo Guides. Zoo Guides ensure that a Zoo visit starts on a pleasant, comfortable, and informative note by answering general questions about the Zoo in a helpful and enthusiastic manner, and by pointing out all the great exhibits, events, and programs available. After successfully completing summer volunteer requirements as a Zoo Guide, Zoo Teens may choose the volunteer track that they would like to participate in.”
