Travelling Zoo Seeking Laborers & Assistants - (Yonkers & NYC) New York City

Who we are: New York Wild! is a travelling zoo, providing New York City schools with educational live animal programs. Our exhibits also take place at child care centers, summer camps, street fairs, birthday parties and special events. We literally transform these locations into a zoo, with giant aquariums, ponds and displays. New York Wild! was founded to give urban NYC students more opportunities to experience nature and wildlife up close. We inspire people to care about wildlife and protect it. Many animals, such as snakes and reptiles, are misunderstood or hated because of how they're portrayed in scary movies and television shows.
