Thank you for your interest in becoming a Zoo Ambassador at the NEW Zoo! Zoo Ambassadors facilitate interactions between our animals and guests, and help our guests make connections to the animals. Zoo Ambassadors learn how to use empathy to connect our guests with animals in the zoo.
Children's Zoo shifts are typically 2 hours long, from 10am-12pm or from 12pm-2pm. At some times of the year, shift hours may vary. Shifts are available 7 days a week, 365 days a year. After you complete training, you can set your own schedule according to your availability by signing up to supervise the shift(s) of your choice. Must be aged 15+ for this opportunity, unless working with a chaperone. Kids aged 8-14 can volunteer with an adult as partners.
Recruitment is ongoing. Contact the Zoo to learn more, or get started by completing the volunteer application on the Zoo's website at newzoo.org/get-involved/volunteer
