Our longest-running volunteer program, Zoo Docents are dedicated volunteers who serve as educators and interpreters at animal habitats throughout the Zoo. In addition, they provide tours and assist with a variety of educational programs both inside the Zoo and in the local community all year long.
Applications open November 2026
Time Commitment
The Docent program is a year round program with a minimum of 30 hours of required volunteer shifts the first year in the program, and 60 hours in subsequent years.
