How to Volunteer

Volunteer GardensFollow these four easy steps to become a Volunteer:

1
Submit a Volunteer Application. We are currently accepting volunteer applications for Orangutan Naturalists through August 2013. Click here to apply.

2. Attend a Volunteer Program Introduction. The following dates are available:
•  1pm June 8
•  6:30pm Aug. 1
•  6:30pm Aug. 26
•  1pm Sept. 28

Please RSVP for the Volunteer Program Introduction to to volunteer@indyzoo.com or call 317-630-2041.

3. After attending a Volunteer Program Introduction, Volunteer Office will contact interested candidates to schedule an interview.  This allows the Volunteer Services Staff to learn as much as possible about the person's interests, experiences, and motivation and to assess the needs and expectations of the Zoo at that time. General policies and legal documentation will also be explained. Specific work assignments may be made during the interview. Interviews generally last one hour.

4. If offered a Volunteer position, the applicant must attend New Volunteer Orientation prior to their first day of volunteering. The Orientation reviews Zoo Policies, Safety and Security Procedures. New Volunteers become activated only after attending Orientation.

We appreciate your willingness to help us fulfill our conservation mission.
