i go to a "camp" there over the summer (its like 5 hrs a day, 2 weeks) where you go behind the scenes and stuff. i kinda got to know everyone so i might have a good shot at vollunteering lol
They're fairly loose with accepting people. Not as many people as you would expect are interested. Unfortunately, they've had to falsify hours in order to entice volunteers. When I was wrapping up there, they were giving double hours for weekends. I hear they've bumped it up to quadruple hours now, which I think is BS. Gene, as far as I know, the age limit to volunteer is 14- give Kim in the VC office a call. Not Fridays though- with the budget cuts, that office is closed each Friday.

There's little "profit." Admission pays for food, husbandry and the staff. What remains goes towards conservation. This holds true for the New York Aquarium and other WCS zoos in NYC. I'm not sure how other facilities are run.

I even sent them an application where I said I'm tuning 15 in a couple of months. They discarded it and told me to send it again when I turn 15.
