Being a YATZ Member

So far as a part of YATZ, I have experienced many new things in and out of the zoo. The camp allowed me as a new member to get to know a lot of people and create many new friendships. It allowed me to feel like I belonged in the YATZ group with people who share interests with me.

The day at Morialta, working towards a common goal with the rangers allowed me to better understand part of our natural world.

The elective shifts, working with children in the education department allowed me to learn more about working with kids. Also the ongoing shifts in the old and new children’s zoo have allowed me to help and see the transition between the two.

Working with many of the different YATZ has helped me gain knowledge about different species and parts of our world. Having the opportunities to work on things such as the bat camp and Boo at the Zoo has helped me gain confidence in talking ans working with strangers, along with giving me knowledge to share with others
