Click the "Click Here" for your team member to become qualified (qualified means they need to sign our e-waiver) and/or create an account
Below is some additional information about preparing for your upcoming group project and a little about us, as an organization!
The Zoo is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit that is an affordable family experience supported by private donations and gate admission. We are one of a small number of private, non-profit, Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA)-accredited zoos in the country, which requires that we maintain the highest standards in animal welfare, conservation, education, veterinary care, and more. We bring the world of animals to our guests who may never have the opportunity to see these animals in the wild and we are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of animals worldwide. To be able to make the impact we do, we rely on volunteers like you.
Your group could be assisting with a variety of projects, including assisting with events, making animal enrichment, invasive plant removal, painting, building, refurbishing animal habitats, and more! So, plan to dress for the occasion and dress comfortably according to the weather. We require that you all wear closed-toe shoes and bring water! We have gardening gloves for volunteer use, but you are welcome to bring your own to use as well. The Zoo has great food services on the property, so if you would like to order food for your group while you are here, please let me know so I can assist in coordinating that for you. After you are done volunteering at the Zoo, you are welcome to enjoy exploring the Zoo that day for free as our thank you for all your hard work!
