Ever wonder what it would be like to work in a zoo? Do we have an opportunity for you!

We engage volunteers in all areas of zoo operations. If you are serious about participating in and supporting the Jacksonville Zoo's conservation, education and recreation goals, then we need you.

General Volunteer Information

• Volunteers are needed to educate varied audiences about the natural world, teach conservation messages, beautify our grounds, assist our guests in various areas of the park, input data, lend a hand in our animal care areas, answer questions, drive trains and enhance our guests' experiences.
• You provide the interest and enthusiasm, and we will provide the training. Scheduling is flexible. Volunteers receive special discounts, free admission, newsletters and special programs only available to employees and volunteers. Take this opportunity to meet others who share your interests in the animal kingdom. 
• New Adult Volunteer Orientations are held at the Pepsico Foundation Education Campus.
• Volunteer opportunities are available for both adults (age 18 and up) and teens (age 15 and up). Contact the Volunteer Office for the Teen Volunteer Application.
• Or, is your group or family looking for a community service project? We may have a special project that may suit your needs and ours.
