Careers and Volunteers
 The
Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens have countless
opportunities to get involved. From full-time jobs, to volunteer
positions and even the Zoo Teen program, we need a host of
talented and dedicated individuals to help make this one of
Indianapolis' top attractions and a worldwide leader in animal
conservation.
See what full-time, part-time and seasonal
employment opportunities
are currently available at the Zoo or Gardens. Positions working with
plants and animals require related education and previous
experience. However, there are many other employment
positions at the Zoo and Gardens, all of which work to support
friendly guest service as well as the conservation and education
efforts of the Indianapolis Zoo.
The Adult Volunteer Program has been serving
the Zoo for nearly 30 years, and the dedication and commitment
that continues from this group of people is immeasurable. Featuring one of
the premier volunteer programs in the United States, with 600
volunteers contributing 65,000 hours of service annually, the
Indianapolis Zoo offers a wide variety of positions to pique your
interest. Individuals over the age of 18 can participate in
a wide variety of assignments including education, special
events, gardening and animal care.
