Support the Houston Zoo Volunteer Fund – Keeper Staff Award
The Houston Zoo Volunteer Fund Keeper Staff Award is made possible to provide the Zoo staff with an opportunity to enhance the care, environment and understanding of animals, and share this knowledge with colleagues, volunteers and the public. Grants can be awarded for projects that focus on SSPs, captive research, enrichment, or help staff learn new skills that can benefit the animals with which they work. The HZI Volunteer Fundraising Committee monitors the awarding of the grant, and under the conditions of the award, the staff that receives it agrees to provide two continuing education classes (one on a weekday & one on a weekend) to HZI volunteers.
