Maybe you have a desire to inspire others. Our dedicated volunteers donate their time, talents, and skills to augment and enhance Zoo staff's work. While experience can be helpful, it isn’t a requirement. We're committed to helping volunteers succeed by providing the tools, resources, and training!
The Zoo provides a unique yet challenging environment to gain valuable career-building knowledge and experience.
The North Carolina Zoo Society is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports wildlife conservation, education, animal care and wellness, and guest experience at the North Carolina Zoo.
The Zoo Society’s generous donors and loyal members empower the Zoo to do more than provide world-class animal care. Gifts from the Zoo Society position the North Carolina Zoo to contribute nationally and internationally to wildlife conservation and research, to advance standards and practices that promote the well-being of animals in zoos and the wild, and to inspire people everywhere to respect, explore, care about, and connect with nature.
Your donation helps support our mission to save endangered animals from extinction. Our researchers and scientists work in over ten countries around the globe.
Not only does your membership help support our wildlife and education programs both here in North Carolina and abroad, but you can visit the Zoo all year long. Learn more about the incredible benefits of being a member at the North Carolina Zoo.
