Careers with Critters™:

Guided Crew

Small Group Coaching for Animal Lovers Who Want to Grow Together

For students who want guidance, accountability, and connection, the Guided Crew offers a powerful small-group coaching experience.

Students join a supportive crew of fellow animal lovers (just 12 students per group) and work together through live coaching sessions, hands-on projects, and real conversations about their future.

First, you will start with Track 1: Explore Wild Careers, then, once you're ready for deeper guidance, real-world planning, and next-step confidence, you'll move into Track 2, the ultimate launchpad for future animal pros.

Track 1: Explore Wild Careers 

If you love animals but aren’t sure which career path fits best, this is the perfect place to start.

Inside Level 1, you'll explore the entire animal career universe, from wildlife veterinarians to conservation storytellers, penguin rehabilitators to bat biologists, marine mammal trainers to insect keepers, animal behavior researchers, and dozens more.

This is the track where discoveries happen, ideas spark, and possibilities open up.
