I second contacting Lein, or looking for “kennel kid” type positions at local clinics. When I was 17 I did exactly that, and let the clinic know I was especially interested because I wanted to be a vet. Turned out that based on that experience I learned that wasn’t the right career path for me, but it was really valuable experience and Lein (where I worked) did a great job of making what might have just been a messy job cleaning cages into a really awesome learning opportunity.
