How to Volunteer
The Saint Louis Zoo welcomes enthusiastic volunteers who have a love for animals and a passion for serving the people of our community. Zoo volunteers come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and bring a variety of experience, knowledge and skill to the Zoo's operations. Of course, no prior experience is necessary -- we'll teach you what you need to know. Whether you have just a few hours each month to spare, or are looking for a new avenue in life, there is a home for you at the Zoo.
Volunteer Requirements:
- You must be at least 15 years of age.
- You must offer a minimum of 30 hours of service per year.
- Request an application and schedule an interview with Volunteer Services by calling (314) 781-0900, ext. 4670.
- Attend required training (provided free of charge by the Zoo).
