We were previously taught that art is a paintbrush and paper but today has shown us that art is a huge world. City Lions is a good thing to do as it provides really good opportunities to visit places like this (Somerset House).

ZSL’s Youth Advisory Board

Passionate about protecting our planet? ZSL’s Youth Advisory Board are recruiting new members to help shape the future of wildlife conservation.

The group of 16-25 year olds works to bring diverse youth voice to the centre of ZSL - the charity that run London and Whipsnade Zoos and works to protect & restore wildlife all around the world.

You don’t need to have any previous experience in conservation to join, and we actively welcome applications from all backgrounds and celebrate the value of having a team with diverse skills, experiences, and backgrounds. As such we actively encourage applications from disabled and ethnic minority candidates, as well as those from low-income households, as those demographics are currently under-represented across ZSL.
