Adult Volunteers

More than 350,000 guests come through Zoo Boise’s gates each year. We depend on our dedicated volunteers to provide a fun, educational, and conservation-driven experience for each and every person that comes to Zoo Boise.

Whether interpreting habitats, assisting animal care staff, aiding with education programs, greeting guests, or helping with special events, volunteers are a crucial part of turning the act of visiting the zoo into a conservation action. No prior animal experience required, but a passion for wildlife and conservation is!
