The Wildlife Conservation Society will host its third annual Youth J.I.V.E. (Job, Internship, and Volunteering Expo) at the Bronx Zoo on Saturday, February 2, 2019. The event flyer is attached; advanced registration is required.
“VIP” Early Access – February 2nd from 10:00-11:00 AM
WCS is thrilled to announce EARLY ACCESS from 10:00-11:00 AM for students attending a HERE to HERE network school. B.A.S.E. students should register for Early Access to avoid the crowds during regular access. Advanced registration is required at https://wcsyouthjive2019h2h.eventbrite.com. Use password H2HEarly.
J.I.V.E attendees will learn about all of the paid and unpaid positions available for youth (ages 14-26) at the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, and New York Aquarium. We will also offer professional development workshops at the event to help attendees develop valuable professional skills.
16-26 year olds will have the opportunity to meet hiring managers and learn about the many jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities available at the WCS zoos and aquarium.
14 and 15 year olds can learn more about WCS's volunteer opportunities and how to use volunteer positions as a springboard into paid positions down the line. Chaperones are required for students under age 16.
Regular Access
B.A.S.E. students not available to attend during Early Access, may also register to attend the morning (11:00 AM-1:00 PM) or afternoon session (1:00-3:00 PM). Advanced registration is required at https://wcsyouthjive2019.eventbrite.com.
