Exciting Opportunities for Everyone...

The Volunteer Safaris - where people find out if volunteering at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is right for them - are held twice a year, Spring and Late Summer. To register for the next Volunteer Safari session, or for more information, contact us at (216) 661-6500 ext. 4494. After attending a Safari, interviews are scheduled and applications are reviewed. Applicants are evaluated based on commitment, flexibility and ability to promote the mission of the Zoo, Education Department and Volunteer program. Eligible candidates are then invited to participate in the two (2) day training classes
