A start

[Think Big Zoo]

I am starting a zoo. But have no idea where to start. I know what animals i want but don't know what to get first or if I should try small and work my way up. Or give it all at once?
My instinct is telling me give all at once but my budget is saying start small. And frankly I am stuck.

Does the Houston Zoo have a teen volunteer program? That would give you exposure to how a real life zoo is run and what skills are needed. You would likely meet lots of people there who can answer your questions and give you useful career advice and guidance on working in a zoo.

I did a quick Google search and the Houston Zoo does have a teen volunteer program: Teens – HOUSTON ZOO – NATURALLY WILD

Good luck.
