Wonders of Wildlife

Job shadowing will allow you to experience a “day in the life” of a professional, gain valuable insight through real and relevant learning, as well as a glimpse of daily operations within Wonders of Wildlife. Explore opportunities with professionals in administrative roles, aquarist and biology jobs, education positions, hospitality roles, zookeeper careers and everything in between.

Opportunities are available for students 16 years or older - open to high school juniors, seniors, college students, or new professionals

Job shadow experiences are a minimum of a 3-hour commitment

Job shadow opportunities are offered on these pre-scheduled dates for 2023-2024:

• January 31, February 1, and February 2 2024
• April 25, 2024

Applications are accepted year-round for prescheduled dates and available on a first-come-first-served basis.

Applications must be received at least 3 weeks prior to preferred shadow date. Select applicants will be contacted for further screening. Not all applications will be selected.

Applicants will be required to submit a motivational essay. Applicants will select their preferred interest, though no guarantees for placement will be made.

Information collected from students during the registration process will be used to identify the best opportunity match possible.

A Wonders of Wildlife volunteer program staff member will reach out to the first 10 applicants to confirm their shadow date and to communicate policies and expectations.
