Did you know you can volunteer at the Detroit Zoo 362 days of the year? It is true. The Zoo only closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. BUT, the last day this year to join the volunteer program is Wednesday, October 7, 6-8:30 p.m. when we hold our final new volunteer orientation for 2015. Joining at this season opens you to two of our biggest and most enjoyable events: Zoo Boo in October and Wild Lights in November and December. Other ongoing volunteer opportunities abound and depend on the amount of time you have and the training you take. Then you'll be ready to for the blockbuster of 2016: the opening of the Polk Penguin Conservation Center! Contact us at volunteer@dzs.org for more details.
