Volunteer

Volunteers provide routine daily care for injured, sick, and orphaned native wildlife until they are ready for release back into the wild. 

Volunteers support the work of the Zoo's conservation and education team, engaging with guests through a variety of activities sharing information to increase awareness of conservation issues and introducing them to how all things are connected.

Volunteers are front-line members of the Guest Services Team helping facilitate personalized and memorable guest experiences. 

Gardeners help with weeding and potting plants in the greenhouse and may also assist staff with the upkeep of Zoo grounds, Pollinator Gardens, and similar activities. 

Volunteers provide insight into scientific research, animal behavior, and support the Zoo’s mission to improve animal welfare.

Volunteers facilitate play at Kidzone, a nature-based play area geared toward guests ages 3-10 years old. Kidzone is a place where children and their parents can play, explore, and interact with nature in a fun, safe environment.

Seasonal opportunities are available for businesses, organizations, and service groups to volunteer together to make a difference in just a day.
