## About this program

Junior Curators are a specially selected group of teens who assist Oklahoma City Zoo staff with their daily routines to learn about zoo and garden careers and conservation while gaining life skills and hands-on experience for their resumes. Junior Curators help staff with animal and plant care and help educate guests about conservation and wildlife.

Teens who are 14-17 years old (the age cutoff date is August 1), who complete an application and are approved through an interview. Participants buy a $20 uniform shirt, provide proof of a negative TB test, and must be able to work outdoors in all weather and follow safety procedures around animals. The deadline for 2026-2027 has passed; applications for the 2027-2028 year are accepted April 1-30, 2027.
