The ZooCrafters is a more informal way to volunteer your time and services to the Zoo! Use your skills in crocheting, knitting, jewelry making, etc. and donate handmade items to various Zoo events and fundraisers throughout the year. Volunteers can also create enrichment items (ex: hanging bird toys, dig boxes) for the exhibit and education animals. ZooCrafters may also staff a craft corner for kids during peak-season weekends. This opportunity is also open to outside crafting groups and clubs.
