This summer we are conducting visitor surveys in the Zoo to help us better understand and meet the needs of local visitors and tourists. Students, under the supervision of a staff coordinator, will greet Zoo visitors and conduct a brief survey using a standard set of questions on an iPad. Three hour shifts are available at 9am, 12pm and 3pm daily. Volunteers will be asked to donate a minimum of 20 hours of volunteer service though they may sign up for more.
