Riverside Zoo provides fun and informative programs for people
of all ages.  Zoo staff and trained volunteers offer a variety of animal and conservation education programs and can tailor programs to suit specific needs.

Education is a primary mission of Riverside Zoo and the Education Department reaches nearly 10,000 children and adults annually.  In addition to opportunities here on site, our outreach efforts extend north to South Dakota, west to Casper, Wyoming and east to central Nebraska.

Make a Difference - VOLUNTEER!
Riverside Zoo depends upon docents (education volunteers)
to support its educational programming and mission.
If you are available 40 hours a year and enjoy the natural world,
then you are qualified to attend docent training.
All training is free and provided by qualified staff and volunteers.  Volunteers donate hundreds of hours to give tours, teach day camps, host birthday parties and bring animal ambassadors to schools and community organizations.

"Docents are on the cutting edge of conservation, in educating people about the beauty and intrinsic value of all kinds of animal life.  What a job to cajole people into kinship with, instead of dominance over, nature." - Association of Zoo and Aquarium Docents (AZAD).
