Do you like animals.  Do you like talking to people?  If you can say yes to these two questions, the Topeka Zoo is looking for you.  The Topeka Zoo will hold their next Docent Training Academy on March 24^th – 28^th, 2025 to graduate Docents for the zoo.  Docents are volunteer teachers and guides who provide interpretation and exciting hands-on experiences for guests throughout the zoo.  They are ambassadors for the zoo, a voice for animals, and a part of the zoo’s ongoing education and conservation efforts.

If you are interested in becoming part of the Topeka Zoo Docent Program, go online to the zoos website, click on “Get Involved", then click on “Volunteer” to fill out an application for the Docent Program.  Or contact Dennis Dinwiddie at the zoo at ddinwiddie@topekazoo.org, or 785-368-9134.
