The Junior Zookeeper program is open to young people ages 12-18. Each spring, the Zoo accepts applications and interviews candidates for the volunteer-based summer program.
During your Junior Zookeeper experience, you’ll learn important job skills, practice public speaking, and develop a strong work ethic. The program has three levels. As a Level 1 Junior Zookeeper, you’ll assist with ZooCamp, and present animal artifacts called “biofacts” to Zoo guests. Level 2 Junior Zookeepers care for the animals in the Hy-Vee Face-to-Face Farm, present daily Creature Features to visitors, and help with ZooCamp. In addition to those responsibilities, Level 3 Junior Zookeepers have opportunities to assist the Zoo’s Animal Care staff.
