Montgomery Zoo and Mann Wildlife Learning Museum

Zoo Volunteer Serve Day @ the Montgomery Zoo is an opportunity to spend some time outside and giving back to the community and Zoo.  This is a great way for groups, clubs, businesses, and students to earn volunteer/community service hours.

Volunteers are needed to rake leaves, general clean up around the Zoo and other projects including helping with some of the animal exhibits, and in our Education and Vet clinic areas.
