Docent
Are you passionate about conservation? Do you like teaching others? Would you like your coworker to be a giraffe? If you answered yes to any of these, volunteering as a docent at the Lehigh Valley Zoo may be for you!
Docents play an integral role in the zoo, acting as informal teachers for the public! As a bridge between zoo guests and staff, docents are responsible for running interactive exhibits (i.e. the giraffe feed and lorikeet aviary), showcasing biofacts, assisting guests, supporting the education department staff, and ultimately using their exceptional interpretation skills to educate and inspire guests in the field of wildlife conservation. Please note that due to the educational nature of this position that completion of a mandatory orientation and training period is required upon acceptance to this program.
Whether you are looking to make a difference, connect with exotic animals, learn something new, or just get outside and have fun, the Lehigh Valley Zoo docent program has something to offer everyone!
