The Montgomery Zoo has lots of fun, different and exciting volunteer opportunities on the horizon, including a new conservation event on Saturdays, a day of volunteer service, vacation preparation, and the annual Christmas Lights Festival.
Montgomery Zoo volunteers play a vital role in the success of the zoo. Some volunteers interact with zoo visitors while others may work behind the scenes.
It’s a great way for groups, clubs, businesses, and students to earn volunteer / community service hours.
