Our volunteers fulfil a variety of indispensable roles at the Zoo – from welcoming our visitors, to assisting our keeping and vet teams, to cutting fresh grass for animals to enjoy!
It’s the dual nature of volunteering that is so special – not only are our volunteers improving the wellbeing of our kaimahi and visitors, but they’re also creating their own uplifting and supportive community at the Zoo.
We’re extremely fortunate to have volunteers that have been with us for 5, 10, 20+ years. As one of our newest volunteers Rubi says, “I really feel like I found somewhere where I belong. It’s been the best six months of my life!”
Volunteering can fit around your schedule too – with many of our ‘vollies’ committing to one day a week or fortnight. If you’d like to get involved, learn more here – aucklandzoo.co.nz/get-involved/volunteer
A huge thank you to our partners at Tip Top who celebrated our volunteers for Whakawhetai Friday – shouting them ice creams and ice blocks to enjoy.
