Volunteering at the Zoo

• Volunteering at the zoo is a personally rewarding experience.
• Volunteers make most of our programs and events possible.
• Opportunities are varied, with exposure to both visitors and animals.
• Educate the public while expanding your own horizons and knowledge.

• Complete our Volunteer Application (PDF) and submit to hdoncaster@alaskazoo.org.
• If your application is initially accepted, you will be contacted to attend an interview meeting and new volunteer zoo tour.

• Volunteer opportunities are available for ages 15 and older only.
• New volunteers are required to give 5 hours in 3 out of the 4 sections (15 hours total) prior to permanent admission into the volunteer program.
• The 4 sections are:  Education, animal husbandry, facilities/office, events/service.
• Once the 15 hours are completed, you will receive a volunteer shirt and name tag.
