Family & Group Volunteering Opportunities
Animal Enrichment Workshops
- Adults, children, families, and groups can assist in creating
objects to stimulate animals’ interest and encourage natural
behaviors at an Animal Enrichment Workshop. Held on the fourth
Saturday of each month, these workshops are from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00
a.m. in the Diehm Museum classroom, across the street from the zoo.
Individuals need not register ahead of time; just arrive at 9:00
a.m. ready to work. Group leaders should call the zoo’s
Volunteer Office at 260.427.6828 at least one week in advance, with
the ages and number of people in the group.
All workshop materials are provided. Participants may want to wear
old clothes. No application or
training is required. All children 12 and under must be accompanied
by an adult (a scout or group leader, parent, or guardian.) As
a community service opportunity, the Animal Enrichment Workshop does
not include zoo admission.
