Frequently Asked Questions
- If my ticket is from 11:00am-12:00pm, does that mean the event is one hour long?
Your timed ticket indicates the time window for entering the job, internship, and volunteering event hall. While your entry is limited to this window, we invite you to take advantage of the engaging workshops available, which may extend beyond your scheduled time. After exploring the event hall, we encourage you to stay and enjoy the rest of the day at the Bronx Zoo!
- Do I need to bring a chaperone (parent/guardian or other adult)?
Chaperones are required for all attendees under 16. A chaperone is included in your registration; there is no need to register separately for the chaperone.
- I am 15, but am turning 16 soon; which session should I attend?
If you will be 16 before June 1, 2025, then you should select a 16+ time slot.
- I am not available to attend the time option(s) for my age group, can I register to attend for the other age group instead? (For example: I am 14 but cannot attend one of the afternoon slots; can I register for the 11:00 am session for 16-26 year olds?)
Unfortunately, no attendees should register for a time slot that corresponds to their age group. If you cannot make it during the time slots offered, we recommend that you register for our self paced virtual event.
- I am older than 26, can I still attend the event?
Our event is designed for young adults between the ages of 14 and 26. If you are older but are still interested in opportunities at WCS, please feel free to visit https://www.wcs.org/about-us/careers to view available opportunities.
