The Toledo Zoo is accepting
applications for adults interested in volunteering at the Zoo. This is a great
way for people 18 and over to get involved in the community and meet new people
while learning about animals and conservation.
Two volunteer programs are
available: Exhibit Guides and clerical volunteers.
Exhibit
Guides work on Zoo grounds to educate the
public about Zoo animals and maintain visitor traffic flow through the exhibits
in a timely, friendly manner. Exhibit Guides also help ensure the safety of the
animals and the visitors while promoting a positive viewing experience for
everyone. The primary areas needing Exhibit Guides this year are the
award-winning children's zoo, Nature's Neighborhood, and the new exhibit
opening May 18, Tembo Trail: Elephants of the Savanna.
Clerical
volunteers help prepare mailings, stuff
envelopes, collate and organize binders and enter data. "When people consider
volunteering at the Zoo, they typically think about the animal areas or our
education department," Bill Davis, the Zoo's volunteer manager, said. "But the
Zoo has several offices that also want help– clerical volunteers are wonderful
people for whom we have a real need."
