Zoo Guide

May 2019 - November 2019 Grand Rapids, MI
“John Ball Zoo is an amazing place to work. Not only is the atmosphere awesome but so are all of the staff members. I loved the flexible work schedule, outdoor environment and chance to work with and learn about 100s of animals. Even if working at the zoo is not your long term goal, it is a great opportunity to widen your knowledge and perspective about the world and animals. ”
