We have a new service partner! The El Paso Zoo needs lots of volunteers for multiple reasons. They want to have at least 2 training events before school is out, in which attending 1 is enough, they will be about 2 hours long. As you may or may not know, the zoo has expanded recently with the opening of the African Exhibit featuring for now, 4 lions, and some meerkats (who have produced 2 litters so far) I saw 3 week old babies yesterday, they are adorable. This summer they will add Zebras and Giraffes.
They will train you in how to do mini workshops in the exhibits. Enthusiasm is a key ingredient to that and the love of people and kids. You will learn how to do some small crafts that will be given to visitors, decorating the safari van for the 4th of July parade (on the 3rd this year due to 4th being on Sunday) They will be doing outreach programs to Albertsons, Walmart and Target parking lots throughout the summer to inform the public about the new displays. Some of the service hours are at the zoo, others as outreach around town. I need a project leader from each school, so please email if you are interested. They also have some brochures that need to be put together in-mass.
The training sessions will be from 4 p.m to 5:30 or 6:00 after school after May 10th, we will discuss exact dates in club meetings.
