Zoo Knoxville is a beautiful, easily accessible mid-size East Tennessee zoo. Volunteers Share information about the zoo’s animals, habitats and conservation programs with zoo guests; assist zoo staff with educational programs both on and off zoo grounds; help staff with events like BPP! at the zoo and zoo camp; and work behind the scenes to help keepers and staff with daily operations. The volunteers and staff at Zoo Knoxville are like a big family, caring for each other as well as the animals. Activities and monthly meetings provide education and social fun.
