    Zoo Volunteers
    Knowledgeable Zoo Volunteers deliver tours and Outreach Programs. Their interest in wildlife, conservation, education and children is what they share in common. Volunteers complete a twelve-week training course and write an exam before they become eligible to present educational programs. Many professions are represented in our volunteer group, including former teachers.
