Group Volunteer Program

Volunteering at Zoo Atlanta is a great way for your club, community group, or company to build teamwork as well as support the community.

We can schedule days of service that provide your team with an opportunity to support our organization through a hands-on project.

GROUP VOLUNTEER SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES 

Group Volunteer service days could include assisting our Facilities, Maintenance, Horticulture, Events, or Animal Care Teams. Projects can include but are not limited to painting or staining; horticulture projects such as raking leaves, pruning shrubs, and cutting down browse; cleaning signage; or fixing benches. Projects change based on the season and the needs of the Zoo. Having Group Volunteers assist the Zoo teams with these projects allows our team to tackle more work while also providing groups the opportunity to bond with one another at the Zoo!
