WHO CAN VOLUNTEER?
Volunteering for Jazzoo is a wonderful way to show your support for the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium. Consider joining us this year!
We welcome anyone who has some time to give and wants to help the Zoo’s largest fundraiser. Give a few hours, a half-day, a full day, or whatever you can spare.
We do our best to accommodate special needs for volunteers — just let us know in the notes section when you sign up.
We’re always happy to have younger volunteers assist us during the daytime shifts. We just ask that they be with an adult the entire time they are volunteering.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via email at [email protected].

Event Setup
Dates
Thursday, June 4: 9am–5pm
Friday, June 5: 9am–5pm
Description
We need volunteers on both days for this essential role in setting up the event. This mostly outdoor position involves a variety of tasks, including setting up décor, signage, preparing guest areas, assisting with restaurant load-ins, and more. Volunteers are a crucial part of making this event a success each year, and your help is greatly appreciated!
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Zoo and even catch a glimpse of some animals. Whether you can volunteer for a few hours, half a day, or both days, we’d love to have you on board. Lunch will be provided, and the work will take place rain or shine.
