Our Zoo Crew Program is focused on service opportunities that support our facilities, operations, and animal care teams. These opportunities tend to involve less interaction with guests. The program is designed for those interested in a longer-term commitment.

Zoo Crew Volunteers can:

• Assist in the Petting Zoo, facilitating guest interactions with the goats and sheep and helping to keep the area clean;
• Volunteer with our Horticulture Team;
• Volunteer with our Maintenance Team;
• Create enrichment items for the animals;
• Assist our animal care teams as Husbandry Aides (typically requires a weekly commitment).
