Volunteer as a Group

Group Volunteering is a fantastic way for your club, business, team or organization to help Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and have a unique experience at the same time! Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity that inspires teamwork and forms bonds that last a lifetime.

At any given time, there are a variety of projects at the Zoo that require an army of people to complete.

To better help us pair you with a project that will suit your abilities and interests, please be prepared to answer the following questions:

Is there an estimated date you have in mind for volunteering?
How many people will be participating with your group?
What does your group consist of? Coworkers? Family members? Club members?

Details

Our projects are typically scheduled for 3 hour time slots.
Morning or the afternoon time slots are available depending upon your schedule and time that our project warrants.
Waiver forms will need to be completed prior to volunteering (sent with your confirmation).

To Apply

- Please have dates and estimated numbers of participants ready when you contact us.

- Confirmation and participation waivers will be sent after you apply. They must be signed at the start of the project.

Please Read and Agree

I understand that by purchasing a CMZoo membership, advance ticket reservations are required to visit the Zoo for Individual, Family, Grandparent and Family Plus members, and my preferred ticket date or time may not always be available. I also understand that memberships are non-refundable after purchase.

If free member tickets for my chosen day/time are not available, and I choose to purchase non-member tickets, they will not be refundable/reimbursable and cannot be applied to my membership renewal.

I also understand that the Zoo cannot accommodate an earlier entry time than my ticket start time. (For example, a 10:30-11 a.m. ticket cannot be scanned in earlier than 10:30 a.m.)

Please be courteous to your fellow members by not over-reserving tickets and returning tickets you can’t use. To release your tickets, email [email protected] prior to your ticketed date.

MEMBER CODE OF CONDUCT

We believe we can create a feeling of family by treating each employee, guest, member and donor with the respect they deserve. Treating each other like we would want to be treated is just the right thing to do. There is no room at the Zoo for profanity, harassment or threatening behavior.

Our animals are family and we love and respect them not only for their beauty, but for all the joy they bring so many guests every year. We believe our animals deserve the best homes and care we can provide. Please join us in treating our animals like you would treat your own family members. Crossing barriers is dangerous, as they are in place to keep both you and our animals safe. Like your friends and family, our animals do not like to be harassed in any way.

We believe we should never take our site’s beauty for granted. Our mountain is something we hope you will enjoy and actively admire. Join us in preserving our amazing site by feeling at home while you are here and leaving our grounds “without a trace.”

Our staff strives to make the world a better place every day. We will always work hard to make your experience the best it can be as well as assist you when things might not go as planned. When having difficult discussions, mutual respect is always expected and appreciated.

“If you are unable to comply with this Code of Conduct, we reserve the right to revoke your membership and/or ask you to leave the Zoo. Thank you for understanding.

I agree to the information above.
