Edinburgh Zoo - volunteers
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland is very proud of our 65+ volunteers as they help us with our conservation and education programmes throughout the year. Our volunteers help us with our mission of inspiring and exciting our visitors with the wonder of living animals and promoting the conservation of species and habitats. Working in a voluntary capacity for The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland will suit people of all ages who wish to broaden their interests, make new friends or learn new skills. Please note volunteering does not include working directly with animals.
