The Zoo Apprenticeship Program, or ZAP, is a multi-year paid apprenticeship program for a diverse cohort of high school-aged youth 15 and older. Participants are educators, and every summer, they provide free conservation programming to systematically marginalized communities in the Portland metro area through Community Tours. As paid interns, they can learn from zoo professionals and partner organizations. 

If the registration is full and you are interested in being a backup volunteer, please email Amanda, at amanda.gallegos@columbiaslough.org!
