Group Volunteers

Project Categories

• Outdoors Labor Projects – Raking leaves, moving substrate (soil, sand, rocks, gravel), weeding, planting shrubs, etc. Most projects are outdoors and are only available on Sunday through Thursday mornings, based on project need.
• Outdoors Special Events – Helping with event setup, greeting guests, facilitating craft and activity tables, cleanup etc.; activities will involve interacting with our Zoo guests so be ready to engage in conversation! Projects will typically run on Fridays-Sundays during Zoo hours (example:  Zoo Boo).
• No matter the project, your group may be split into smaller teams to accomplish tasks.
• Most projects involve physical labor

Details

Group volunteers are typically scheduled for projects lasting up to three hours. Zoo projects can accommodate a group size of 10-25, depending on the area. Please note that project availability is limited and must be pre-scheduled; requests should be received at least 30 days in advance. The exact project will vary due to the time of year and needs of the Zoo.

All group volunteers granted a project will be scanned through Raptor background check screening.

Come make a difference while learning about conservation and having fun! Volunteers must bring their own reusable water bottle to help save wildlife.

We currently do not have available projects – please check here for future updates! When projects are available, an application will be posted.
