Pine Grove Zoo values our volunteers and appreciates each member of our Volunteer Team. We offer a variety of unique volunteer opportunities designed to match each volunteer’s talents and interests, though some roles have limited availability.
Our goal is to create an environment where volunteers feel supported, valued, and part of the zoo community. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our animals, staff, volunteers, and guests.
Zoo Ambassadors are enthusiastic, people-oriented volunteers who interact with guests in our Admission/Gift Shop area. If you enjoy meeting people, you will love this opportunity. You will greet visitors and process their payments for admission or gift shop purchases. 2–3-hour shifts are preferred.
Petting stable ambassadors will assist our Petting Stable Staff with maintaining the cleanliness of our Petting Stable area. This includes working directly with the animals in the petting stable. You must attend special training prior to working with our Petting Stable Family. 2–3-hour shifts are preferred.
Special event team volunteers provide support at zoo Camps, special events, and fundraisers. You may help with games, guide guests, lead crafts, and set-up or take down events. Under age 16 can volunteer if they volunteer with an adult. This is only for specific events.
Do you like running errands? We need responsible adults to pick up supplies at local businesses for the care of our animal family. A valid driver’s license is required. This is a 1–2-hour time commitment for each supply run on specific times/days of the week.
If you enjoy working in the dirt, you will enjoy spending time keeping our green spaces healthy and weed free!
Turn teamwork into impact! Volunteer opportunities are available for businesses and community groups looking to give back together. Strengthen connections, boost morale, and make a positive difference through hands-on service that leaves a lasting mark on the community!
