Description
Saturday February 1, 2025
The WCS Youth JIVE is an interactive opportunity for youth (ages 14-15) to learn how to use volunteer and entry level internship positions as a springboard into paid job opportunities at WCS’ Zoos and Aquarium down the line. You will have the chance to attend a workshop, meet youth alumni, and connect with volunteer & intern hiring managers.
Timed entry available into the event space at 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM
Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the event last? Should I arrive at the time on my ticket?
Your timed ticket indicates the start time for the formal workshop and interactive portion of the event; the event will last about one hour. Whichever timed entry you have selected (either 1:30 PM OR 2:30 PM) is the time you should arrive to access the event space. That being said, we encourage you to arrive at the zoo before your timed entry session for the event in order to explore our animal exhibits! While you’re welcome to explore the zoo after your session ends, kindly note, however, that animals will go off exhibit at 4:00 PM.
- 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 (which you can find on our website- https://bronxzoo.com/teens/wcs-youth-jive
- I’m 14, and my sibling is 17. Do we need to register for separate sessions?
The event for 14-15-year-olds is specifically designed with that age group in mind, so we really recommend you attend that one. However, all the opportunities will also be available at the 16-26 event. If you can only attend one session together, we suggest that the younger sibling join the older age group’s event rather than the other way around.
