Join us for Sunset at the Zoo, where we celerbate cultures and communities. You may be asked to volunteer at activity stations, with greeting guests, or admissions. By signing up to do this event, you are considered a Zoo Crew volunteer at the Zoo!
Zoo Crew volunteers assist on a one-time or periodic basis with the Zoo's special events and projects, ranging from after-hour special events for adults and kids, days, private daytime events, holiday-related events, and more! Depending on the event you could be playing games with guests, leading craft activities, providing directions/information, or handing out treats to guests, as just a few examples. You will have access to a virtual orientation to review so you can get to know us and our Zoo.
If you have a child that you'd like to bring with you to volunteer at events, you will need prior approval from the Volunteer Manager. Please keep in mind that your child will have to be above the age of 13 years old to accompany you, must accompany you at all times, and will have to sign a separate release form.
We ask that Zoo Crew volunteers wear weather-appropriate and family-friendly clothing, we will provide nametags. We will also have food on property available for purchase at all events if you need meals/snacks while volunteering. We will provide breaks for shifts beyond 5 hours long, and will try to acoomodate position rotations upon request.
After signing up for an event, the Volunteer Services Team will contact you to provide more information and training about a month prior to the event. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact volunteers@centralfloridazoo.org for more information.
