Teen Volunteer Program

Thank you for your interest in the Fort Worth Zoo's Volunteen Program. Below you will find information on both our Home School Volunteen Program and our Summer Volunteen Program.

Weekday Home School Volunteens

This program provides local home-schooled teens the opportunity to assist our Weekday Edventure School teachers. They help set up, clean up and assist students with crafts and excursions into the Zoo. Volunteens come in once a week for half of the day, either from 8:45 a.m.—12:15 p.m. or 12:45—4:15 p.m. The fall session runs from September to December and the spring session runs from January to May. Applications are completed online and interviews are scheduled after the final application date. After interviewing all applicants, the Education staff will make selections.

Applications for the fall semester will be available beginning in May.

Summer Volunteen Program

Summer Volunteens, ages 12 to 17, entering 7th to 12th grades, spend one week during the summer assisting staff in our Summer Zoo Camps.

All positions have been filled for summer 2011. Please check back in February 2012 for application information.
