The 10th Annual WCS Youth JIVE (Job, Internship & Volunteering Expo)—WCS’s only hiring and career fair—connects young people with employment, internship, and volunteer opportunities across WCS’s five NYC Zoos and Aquarium – the Bronx Zoo, Central Park Zoo, Queens Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo and New York Aquarium.

JIVE provides a vital entry point for young people—particularly those exploring their first job or next career step—to gain exposure to real-world opportunities in conservation, animal care, education, visitor services, and more. Attendees had direct access to hiring managers, hands-on guidance, and resources designed to build confidence and professional skills.
