The Philadelphia Zoo believes there is no shortage of great ideas from children for improving America’s First Zoo. In an effort to capture these ideas and give them voice, the Zoo is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for its fifth "Junior Advisory Council". "Junior Advisory Council 5" will allow approximately twenty children ages 8-14 from communities in and around the Philadelphia region, southern New Jersey and Delaware to have a platform for input from a child’s perspective on Zoo issues ranging from the design and presentation of animal attractions to selecting healthy and tasty menu items in the snack stands, the Zoo’s gift shop and more.
The deadline for applications is
February 29, 2012 with selections being made
March 15, 2012.
