Teen Volunteers

Are you passionate about wildlife and conservation? Do you love animals and kids?

Teen volunteers can gain valuable job skills while expanding their knowledge about animals and conservation. Teens assist the Education team with programs and classes, share fun information about animals and conservation with our guests, help with special events, and more.

The Zoo Explorer Post is a coed program of Boy Scouts of America. It is sponsored by the City of Alexandria.
