Zoo Educators

Zoo-Eds provide educational programs both on and off Zoo grounds. Programs may be planned but may also be spontaneous interactions with Zoo visitors. Zoo Eds use live animals and animal artifacts, or biofacts, to teach the young and not-so-young about our natural world and the importance of conservation.

Zoo Eds must complete a series of 9 training sessions that cover every area of the Zoo. Training is provided by department staff and includes information about our exhibits, our animals, our unique heritage, as well as teaching and communication techniques. Zoo Eds also receive specialized training in animal handling.

For more information, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator
