Youth ages 13–17
Due to COVID-19, our Teen Team program recruitment will be postponed. Anyone who submits an application will hear back when we are able to begin our recruitment process.
As members of the Central Florida Zoo’s Teen Team, teenagers ages 13 to 17 can make new friends, learn something new and play a vital role in educating Zoo visitors. Teens will receive special hands-on training that includes learning how to handle animals and presenting wildlife biofacts. They’ll participate in special events and share their new knowledge on wildlife and conservation issues with guests, learning the skills they’ll need later in life as well as gaining valuable work experience.
How to Apply
