Attention Teens! Send In Your Applications To Volunteer At The Prospect Park Zoo By Thursday, April 30

Know a teen who’s interested in animals and is looking to do some volunteering? A program at the Prospect Park Zoo might be just the thing!

Applications are currently being accepted to the Wildlife Conservation Society’s teen Discovery Guide program, where youth age 14 and older work within the facilities’ education department to speak with visitors, interpret exhibits, and help out on public events and other activities.

Teens will be trained in public speaking and teaching methods, plus they’ll gain job-preparation skills like time management, teamwork, and more. Plus, students can receive community service credit for their work.

Training takes place in June and July, and candidates must attend all sessions; then, volunteer shifts are available every day of the week.

Applications must be in by Thursday, April 30.

For more information, call 718-399-7339 ext 325 or email ppzvolunteer@wcs.org.
