VOLUNTEER AT THE ZOO!

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE !

Do have a love for animals? Would you like to get involved with conservation? Are you interested in learning more about how zoos run?
If so, you might want to sign up to volunteer at the zoo. We are currently scheduling interviews for the following volunteer positions:

Docents - (ages 19 and up) Docents are specially trained volunteer educators who teach zoo guests fun facts about our animals
and wildlife conservation through the use of biofacts, interactives, and live animals.

Junior Docents - (ages 14 - 18) Just like our docent program,
this opportunity allows high school students to interact with zoo guests while teaching them about the zoo's collection.
Students will be trained in public speaking and animal handling.

Interns - College students can volunteer in several zoo departments to see what it's really like to work at a zoo.
We are accepting intern applications for the following postions: Education, Media. Animal Care, and Veterinary Technicians.
Please send a cover letter and resume to the contact information below to set up an interview.
Students may earn internship credits for college curriculum if permitted by their school.

Children's Center - (ages 14 and up) Would you like a chance to learn how to help care for zoo animals?
Sign up to volunteer in the Children's Center and learn how our staff cares for the Children's Center animal collection.
Assist our Children's Center attendants while they clean, feed, and care for the zoo's domestic collection.

Maintenance - (ages 18 and up) Are you handy? Do you like to fix things?
If so, you might want to consider assisting the zoo's maintenance department while they keep the zoo in tip-top shape.
