This will depend upon the age of the teenager - a 13 year old isn't going to be doing much of anything except watching, while an 18 year old may be allowed to handle boarded animals on his/her own.

Most vet clinics don't take volunteers - they will hire people for part-time positions such as kennel assistant, janitor or other non-medical positions. These individuals typically do menial-type work: talking dogs for a walk, cleaning cages and litter boxes, feeding and watering the animals in house, cleaning exam rooms between clients, restocking supplies, cleaning the rest of the clinic such as mopping and dusting, etc. Over time, a mature individual with a good work ethic will be taught the basics of handling animals and medical procedures and may work up to being a vet assistant.
