We are so excited for you to be part of what we do here at the zoo! 

As expressed in your application, your participation in the Play Partner program includes dues. This is only required for your first year! This fee helps to offset some of the costs of the initial volunteer training, volunteer background checks, and volunteer I.D. badges.

We understand that everyone's ability to pay is different, and we offer a sliding scale fee for participation - to accommodate those who can pay more and those who can not. Please pay the amount you are comfortable with, which best describes your financial situation. The sliding scale is broken down into tiers.

Shirts and sweatshirts are not required to be purchased, as Play Partners may use aprons/smocks during their shifts.
