Adult Volunteer Programs

Adult Volunteers may choose to become General Volunteers or Docents. General Volunteers fulfill a variety of roles throughout the park, such as working in the Petting Kraal, the Discovery Center,as a tour guide in our Tennity Wildlife Hospital, helping with our train exhibit, or the retail nursery, just to name a few.

A NEW option is to become a Weekend Ambassador and help at the zoo on Saturdays or Sundays exhibiting our biofact/interactive carts and sharing information about various plants and animals. Docents are volunteers who are trained to interact in many ways with our guests, young and old, helping to interpret our exhibits and educate the public about the desert in general.

Active Volunteers enjoy a number of benefits, including discounts in our retail venues, volunteer trips and hiking opportunities, tuition discounts for Living Desert University courses, continuing education and behind-the-scenes updates, access to Docent Library, annual volunteer party and other social activities.

All Adult Volunteers must have an active membership at The Living Desert. Click here for a Membership Application.
