Do you enjoy wildlife? Are you interested in enriching other's awareness of conservation? Would you like to expand your knowledge of animals?

The Central PA Zoological Society is creating a vibrant docent program to help provide the community with educational opportunities to learn about wildlife and nature conservation. CPZS reaches over 1,000 adults and children every year with its educational programs and travel exhibits. Upon completion of training, docents will participate in and assist CPZS with a variety of educational experiences and community outreaches.

The Central PA Zoological Society asks its docents for a commitment of time and effort, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude. In return, we offer the benefits of expanding your knowledge while providing a rewarding experience in a warm and friendly environment. The initial one-year docent training program will teach animal care and handling, enclosure maintenance, and natural history interpretation.

This volunteer program (designed for adults ages 18 and up) will provide an enjoyable wildlife experience for both the public and participating volunteers. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact CPZS at (814) 687-4097 or email ralbright@cpzs.org.
