We Love Our Volunteers! I t’s no secret that we love our volunteers! United by their passions for animals, conservation and education, our 440 active volunteers come from all walks of life and provide much of the manpower needed to support daily operations, special events, group projects and more. Whether you’re interested in working on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, we have opportunities for you! Visit brevardzoo.org/volunteer-programs to apply. Accepted applicants are required to attend orientation and a two-day training session before selecting assignments and shifts. The adult volunteer program is open to ages 16 and up. Thank you to the following groups for assisting us with special projects, from digging out the flamingo pond to filling hundreds of oyster shell bags for living shorelines. You are our superstars!
