Still interested in volunteering? Get on our email list here! We will soon be starting online information sessions for those interested in one-time event opportunities. This is a great way to get involved and see if volunteering at HVZ is right for you.
One-time Volunteer Opportunities
These roles are great for those looking to try out volunteering! No minimums and little to no training.
Guest Services
Work with the humans of the Zoo! These roles focus on making Henry Vilas Zoo fun and welcoming for all.
Conservation Education
Talk with guests about conservation, empathy, and care for our environment. These roles are for those who love to teach!
Support Roles
Support roles are in the weeds! They help us keep our Zoo beautiful both physically and photographically!
For Seasoned HVZ Volunteers
These roles come with prerequisites, and are open to those who have previously volunteered with us in an ongoing role.
