Animal area volunteering opportunities with the Tulsa Zoo in Tulsa.

Animal Area Volunteers in Tulsa offers adults the chance to support the Tulsa Zoo by assisting zookeepers with daily routines across select areas such as birds, the children's zoo, education, herps and aquatics, horticulture, the rainforest, and WildLife TREK. Because space is limited, there may be a waiting list for this specific area. Prospective participants generally begin with guest services training, and after completing 50 hours as a guest services volunteer, individuals become eligible to apply for interpretive and animal area roles. The program involves a one-time joining fee covering background screening, a uniform shirt, and a name tag. Volunteers working around animals are required to provide proof of a negative Tuberculosis test. The organization also utilizes VIC Net, an online platform where members can track their hours, sign up for activities, and view upcoming events and documents. Additional volunteer roles include guest services, interpretive docents, and one-time event support.
