Making the Decision to Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to Lupazoo. They assist Lupazoo staff in most aspects of Lupazoo operations and support the Zoo in our mission to create a sustainable future for wildlife. If you are dedicated to wildlife conservation and want to put this dedication into practice, we invite you to consider volunteering at  Lupazoo.

Whether you are interested in assisting Lupazoo visitors, presenting education programs, helping zookeepers with animal care, or assisting horticulture staff with maintaining the botanical collection, there are a wide variety of opportunities available.

Most volunteer positions require a specific time commitment. Some positions have specific age or previous experience requirements, as noted in the descriptions. All potential applicants are interviewed, and accepted volunteers must complete a new volunteer orientation  prior to beginning service. Applicants are accepted based upon the needs of the zoo. We welcome your inquiries about our programs and hope you consider applying for a volunteer position!
