The winter 2007 session of Zoo InternQuest, a career exploration program for high school students, runs February 6th through March 22nd. Meet the interns in the Intern Profiles Section. They will be posting weekly journals and photos of their activities.
There are four intern teams: Conservation, Animal Careers, The Real World, and the Photo Team. Each team has a slightly different perspective to report on as they make their way through departments at the San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, and the Conservation and Research for Endangered Species division of the Zoological Society of San Diego. Check in each week to find out how things are going for this group of aspiring veterinarians, field biologists, and future leaders.

The Zoo Intern program sounds like an ideal program for high school students who love animals, and science, to learn about possible career paths for them.
Students can pursue their love of animals, while helping in a hands-on way to make a difference for the zoo’s animals. They can get a perspective that many of their peers will not have as mere “visitors” to the zoo.
Kudo’s to the program’s organizers and mentors for these students. You are awesome, and truely inspiring lives that can, and hopefully will, make a huge difference in the world of people, animal, and plants. This planet, and all of us who inhabit it, will be better off for the inspiration you do with these energetic young people.

Happy President’s Day interns!
Too bad this holiday it is raining so hard. It would give many people a chance to see the zoo without the crowds.
How is the program going so far?
