 Volunteer
Are you interested in becoming more involved with YOUR zoo?
We have several different ways that you can get involved:
1. Join the Docent Program and become an ambassador for education! You will learn how to engage visitors through the use of education animals, facts and props. Docents are the core of our volunteer program and provide a one-of-a-kind experience for zoo visitors. Now accepting applications for Spring 2010.
2. Are you interested in animal diets and behavior? Become an Enrichment Volunteer! This is a short-term commitiment volunteer opportunity to make treats or toys that enrich the lives of the Zoo's animals. Come up with original project ideas or use some of our ideas to entertain both the animals and the visitors.
3. Calling all green thumbs! Become a Horticulture Volunteer and help maintian the beautiful zoo grounds. We have many gardens that need to be planted, watered and maintained throughout Spring, Summer and Fall.
4. Interpretive Volunteers are needed to take out animal artifacts and share information with the public. This volunteer position requires a small amount of training and is very flexible. These volunteers present facts about animal species, the zoo and conservation to zoo visitors while using an artifact cart or prop.
5. Busy schedule? Sign up to be a Special Events Volunteer and come help at one of our many events throughout the year!
6. Get those teenagers out of the house this summer! The Zoo Crew program is for teens ages 13-17 and provides a hands-on experience with animal care, enrichment, zoo operation and conservation. Click here to download an application.
