Education - Family Edventures

FOR EDUCATION APPROVED VOLUNTEERS ONLY

Family Edventures is a family-friendly program that provides a perfect opportunity for adults and children to come together while also connecting to nature. Participants will have the ability to tour the zoo, play games, make crafts together and meet animal ambassadors, all while learning.  

Volunteers will help the education team by: 

  • Assisting with general daily tasks (participant check in/out, cleaning and organizing) 
  • Assisting with crafts
  • Helping families follow activity / game instructions 
  • Assisting with family interactions with biofacts 
  • General chaperoning / monitoring throughout the class 

This is a public facing position and all volunteers must be approved education program volunteers.  This activity will require modest physical activity, and may require extensive walking/ motoring through the park.  Volunteers should wear their RED Volunteer shirt and name tag.   


To Become an Education Approved Volunteer, volunteers must: 

  • complete volunteer orientation
  • complete a minimum of 20 hours of general / event volunteer service 
  • have a signed standard waiver form on file
  • complete and pass a background check 
  • complete any other specified training as required by education (per activity)
