VOLUNTEERS Calling on groups with members ages 15 and older... Come Lend a Hand! Are you looking for a group project, an opportunity for team building or maybe just a chance to give back to your community? We invite you to volunteer at the Louisville Zoo! Volunteering at the Zoo is rewarding, fun and gives you the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful natural setting. Did you know that studies show volunteer programs drive member engagement? In other words, groups that promote ac- tive volunteer programs enjoy greater member satisfaction, higher morale, and as a result, greater productivity and/or profi tability. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to encourage de- velopment, communication and engagement in your group. Right now, the Louisville Zoo is seeking volunteers in these areas: Horticulture Department: Help us beautify our grounds and provide a natural oasis for the community by assisting in mulching, pulling grasses, planting bulbs and more around the Zoo! Maintenance Department: Have a handy group of individuals? Help us keep the Zoo in tip-top shape by assisting with painting, mending fences and other odd jobs as needed. "The World's Largest Halloween Party" presented by Meijer: Sign up early to volunteer for the most fun event in Louisville. Spaces are limited! The Zoo is a popular location for many different groups looking to volunteer. We are proud to acknowledge just a few of many groups who assist the Zoo every year including UPS, Humana, Mercy Acad- emy, Target, Nur Islamic School and DuPont Manual Key Club.
