With our blog series so far, Martha showed you our in-house animal collection and I’ve taken you on a tour of the BEC. Now we’re teaming up to introduce you to the wonderful people who work in this building: our full-time Education and Volunteer staff!
To give you an idea of how our two departments are related and the connections between all the folks who work here, Martha created this lovely “family tree.”
Education and Volunteers work in the same building and often together, but we have two different roles. The Volunteer staff are responsible for coordinating all of the volunteers that contribute time to the Zoo. This is a big job; between our Keeper Aides, Docents, adult vounteers, Zoo Crew teens, and corporate groups, we have a lot of volunteers at the Zoo! Education staff coordinate, write, and teach all of the educational programs we offer at the Zoo. There are a wide variety of these programs, as well. Taken together, we like to refer to ourselves as the EduTeer team.
We’ve been peppering all of the people in our building with questions to get some insight into who they are and what they do here at the Zoo. They’ve given us interesting and fun answers, and we hope you’ll enjoy “meeting” them through this series! Keep your eyes out the next time you take a program through our Education Department; you might just meet one (or more) of us in person!
