Become a Volunteer
Volunteer at Longneck Manor
Longneck Manor's daily animal care, habitat maintenance, and education programs run in part on volunteer support. As a non-profit conservation park, volunteers play an important role in helping us care for our animals, welcome guests, and support educational programs. Their time and energy also allow our Animal Care Specialists to focus on the husbandry and encounter work they are trained for.
​
Home to a tower of reticulated giraffes, a crash of three southern white rhinoceros, and Bruno, our resident linnaeus's two-toed sloth, Longneck Manor cultivates appreciation for animals through education and stewardship.
​
If you're passionate about animals and giving back, we'd love to welcome you to our volunteer community.

Important Note
​
Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) standards govern how volunteers are supervised, what they can and cannot do with animals. For the safety of both our animals and guests, volunteers do not feed, handle, or directly interact with animals unless under the supervision of an Animal Care Specialist.
