Volunteers make a difference at the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo! Our energetic and dedicated Adult Volunteers contribute their time and talent to assist zoo guests and provide keeper support.
The zoo's Adult Volunteer Program includes three tiers: Basic, Ambassador, and Docent. All new applicants begin at the Basic level. You can then choose to take more training and add a wider range of duties to your volunteer activities.
Please take a moment to read the position descriptions for each
level of the Adult Volunteer Program:
