Zoo Crew Teen Volunteer Program

Zoo Crew is a unique volunteer program that allows teens ages 13-17 to gain insight into careers in the zoo field, make new friends and increase their knowledge about animals and conservation efforts at the Houston Zoo.

Acceptance into the program is very competitive and is a two step process. Our first round in selecting candidates is based on the completeness and responses on the application and a letter of reference. The final step in the selection process includes a personal interview. Please review the program brochure and application for complete details.
 
Volunteers are recruited for nearly every area of the Zoo. Only returning, experienced Zoo Crew members are eligible for placement in animal service areas due to the overwhelming interest in these areas.
