MORE INFO ABOUT VOLU NTEERING AT THE ZOO:

People who sign up to volunteer at Colches ter Zoo will contribute their time to help us achieve our goals of furthe ring understanding and respect for nature and contributing towards wildli fe conservation. Volunteers will spend their day out in the park talking to visitors directly and using props\, activities\, and games to teach a variety of topics from animal care and welfare to conservation and the il legal wildlife trade. Engagement with volunteers should give visitors a d eeper appreciation for nature and the knowledge of the actions they can t ake to benefit wildlife both locally and in the wider world.

< em>Volunteers can expect public engagement and prop use training as well as demonstrations of all the activities they will be running from experie nced educators. This scheme is a great way to build knowledge\, personal confidence\, and social skills as well offering the chance to experience the daily workings of a modern zoo.  \;At all times volunteers will b e supported by the Colchester Zoo education team who will be on hand to h elp them get the most out of their time at the zoo.

No pri or knowledge of animals or conservation is needed! Just plenty of enthusi asm\, the desire to learn new things\, and the willingness to work as par t of a vibrant team.  \;
