Teen Wild Guides
Every weekend Teen Volunteers also known as (TWGS) come to the children's zoo to tell the public about the animals depending on which station they are at; Bats, Goat Barn, Gators, Bugs, Rad Room, Otters, Lemurs, and occasionally Face Painting in the Children's Zoo, or working at the Sun Bear or Chimp Stations. The age range is 12½–18 years.

Famous quotes containing the words teen, wild and/or guides:
“Children ... after a certain age do not welcome parental advice. Occasionally, they may listen to another adult, which is why perhaps people should switch children with their neighbors and friends for a while in the teen years!”
—Marian Wright Edelman (20th century)
“What were our praise to them? They eat
Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
Who when night thickens are afloat
On dappled skins in a glass boat,
Far out under a windless sky;
While over them birds of Aengus fly....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The sciences have ever been the surest guides to virtue.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
