Last Year, teen volunteers worked alongside staff to create a positive and memorable experience for zoo visitors. This year we hope to continue the tradition of service exemplified by our teen volunteers. Teen volunteers perform a variety of tasks at the Brevard Zoo. They may educate the public about a particular animal or take guests on a kayak tour of the wetlands. Teens often work with staff in the petting zoo and aviary.
Many teens also volunteer their time for special events and fundraisers held by the zoo.
Each year, teens design and carry out a project of their choice. Brevard Zoo's Teen Volunteer Program is designed for youths age 13 to 17, who are interested in working with animals and interacting with the public. Teens are required to volunteer one Saturday per month. The program runs continuously throughout the school year. No specific knowledge, skills, or abilities are required.
