Zoo Crew is designed especially for teens interested in animal careers and/or environmental education. Applicants must be at least 13 years old, and no older than junior in high school by the application deadline.

First year teens (Junior Crew) work at interpretive stations education the public, assist with Summer Safari day camp, while also having the opportunity to work in animal areas.

After one summer of participation, teens are required to assist with one week of Summer Safari, one Special Event and to continue with their work at Teen Interpretive Stations around the Zoo. In addition, the second year and beyond (Volunteen) is a time when teens can tailor their own experience at the zoo by applying to one or more voluteen positions in the areas that they choose. Positions are available in a variety of departments.
