Want to help the Elmwood Park Zoo and its animal residents?
The Elmwood Park Zoo is looking for individuals 18 or older who want to help the zoo animals by preparing diets for them!
Diet Prep volunteers help prepare the meals for the zoo’s animals. Individuals must be able to measure, chop, cut and read detailed instructions and must not be turned off by certain smells or diet contents. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in Animal Care, rehabilitation, and Veterinary Science. Shifts begin at 8am and typically last until 11am.
New volunteers must complete training with seasoned Diet Prep volunteers. Training sessions do not occur on Thursdays Sundays. Volunteers must make arrangements to come in one other day during the week to train.
PLEASE NOTE: The zoo is currently looking for applicants with weekend (especially Sunday) availability. A flexible schedule with availability throughout the week preferred but not required.
Email volunteer@elmwoodparkzoo.org for more information.
