Today is the first day of National Volunteer Appreciation Week. In 2008, Houston Zoo volunteers gave over 50,000 hours of service to the Zoo helping out with special events, administrative projects, teaching classes, working alongside the keepers and just about everything in between.
As one of the Volunteer Programs Coordinators at the Zoo, it is an absolute honor to work with this talented bunch of people. Next time you’re at the Zoo and see someone in a blue Houston Zoo volunteer shirt, join me in giving them a big ole thanks for all their work and ask them how you can join us in all the fun.
