Our volunteer specialties offer something for everyone:
Outdoor Adventure Leader
Outdoor adventure leaders lead inquiry-based classes around the zoo for school groups and families. These outgoing volunteers are passionate about talking about wildlife and our work protecting wild places around the world (One shift a week, 9:30am-1:30pm).
WCS Interpreter
WCS Interpreters are the face of the Wildlife Conservation Society. These volunteers engage the public in informational dialogue and activities at stations and exhibits around the zoo (Three, 4-hour shifts a month).
Conservation Ambassador
Ambassadors welcome visitors as they start their adventure around the zoo. Ambassadors play a key role in providing background information about the organization, our conservation work and directing people around the zoo. Ambassadors are the first face people see, so if you are eager to greet people this role is for you. (two -4 hour shifts a month).
Education Assistant
Do you like connecting young people with nature and teaching them about the world around us? Education assistants help with a variety of fun interactive programming including summer camp, public programs, events, sleepovers and more. (two - 4 hour shifts a month minimum or a week of summer camp).
