Single Day of Service Interest Form Logo
  • Single Day of Service Interest Form

  • Please note: Students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult, with a required ratio of one adult for every ten students. Adult chaperones should be included in the total number of participants in the next question.

    The Single Day of Service program is intended for organized groups (such as Beta Club, Key Club, or similar groups) and is not available for school classes. If you are a teacher interested in visiting the zoo with a class or participating in a zoo-led educational program, please visit www.nczoo.org/visit/school-trips or www.nczoo.org/education/schools for more information.

  • Please note: All projects at the North Carolina Zoo are best suited for groups of 25 or fewer. While we occasionally have projects that can accommodate larger groups, these opportunities are rare. A Volunteer Services Coordinator will be in touch soon to let you know if any suitable projects are currently available for your group size.

  • Current Project Descriptions

    Service projects are posted as they become available, and the list below is updated regularly. If there isn’t a project that meets your group’s needs at this time, you are welcome to revisit this form at a later date to see newly added opportunities. A question later in the form will also allow you to sign up to receive notifications about future service projects.
