About the Project
We are a career exploration program focused on experiences that connect at-risk teens to professionals who work with animals and the natural world. Our goal is to help students form relationships that lead to jobs, job-shadowing, internships, or careers in the field of animal care. Students are introduced to all the potential job/career fields at the community partner-sites; at last count there were 36 individual job descriptions from direct animal care to electrical engineering and water system management.
