Interested in working at a Zoo? We’ve got a job for you! Work with staff and keepers to see all aspects of zoo careers. Our teen volunteers, called Junior Curators or JCs, are selected once a year. Applications are available in May. To view frequently asked questions about the JC program, click here.

"The Junior Curator program provided me with a unique experience with the zoo. I built great relationships with both fellow Junior Curators as well as the diverse zoo staff who provided an exceptional learning environment. The program formed my work ethic and gave me a much more thorough understanding of the zoo as a park and attraction, as well a conservation effort. I would not have gained my most memorable life experiences in both a working capacity as well as a personal one without the program."
