Junior Docent Training Program (age 14-17) *by application only*


  • Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary 2132 Jimmy Durante Blvd Del Mar, CA, 92014 (map)

Each year, Free Flight takes on up to 15 new Junior Docents! These are high school students passionate about parrots and interested in gaining experience/skills in the areas of avian care & enrichment, public speaking & advocacy, community engagement & public service, and work in the nonprofit sector. Selected applicants will train with our Education & Outreach coordinator from 10am - 1pm each day this week. On Friday, as their culminating project, they will introduce their families to the sanctuary and our flock, and give an in-depth presentation on a resident parrot of their choice to the combined audience to demonstrate what they’ve learned (and their public speaking skills!).

*Applications go live in March. Please keep an eye on our monthly newsletter and social media platforms for links to the app once it goes live!
