Potawatomi Zoo Volunteer Programs
Potawatomi Zoo offers volunteer options in the Education Department, so you can select the program that best suits your interests and intended time commitment.
Anyone interested in volunteering at Potawatomi Zoo should submit an application form; please note the submission deadlines for each volunteer division. Any applications received after the submission deadline will be held and considered for the next training cycle.
Every application is reviewed and applicants passing the review will be invited to a Volunteer Open House. The Open House allows each applicant to learn more about Potawatomi Zoo and our Volunteer Programs. Applicants will tour the zoo, meet and talk with Potawatomi Zoo Volunteers, and be interviewed.
Background checks will also be conducted (minors and a parent/guardian will sign a certificate of trust in lieu of a background check), and accepted applicants will be invited to the Volunteer Training Course.
Applicants invited to attend the Volunteer Training Course will have to pay a nominal fee that helps offset the cost of training materials and uniforms. To volunteer please download the fillable PDF form, save and return via e-mail to kulrich@southbendin.gov. |
