The Oklahoma City Zoo is hosting an open house for its Junior Curator program.

The open house will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Rosser Conservation Education Center at the zoo.

The program is open to volunteers ages 14-18. Students work with animals, help at special events and assist with other work at the zoo. Each year, 35 Junior Curators are chosen, and they each volunteer 100 hours at the zoo. Applications will be available in the zoo guest relations office and online beginning May 15.

For more information, call 425-0275.
