Join the volunteer team at the Morelia Zoo and be part of the city's most exciting educational experience! Transformed into a vibrant center for environmental learning, the Morelia Zoo stands as the epicenter for raising awareness about environmental conservation, biodiversity, and the preservation of flora and fauna.
The mission is simple yet crucial: to educate and sensitize our visitors, especially the youth, about the importance of protecting our furry, scaly, and feathered friends, as well as the environment we share with them.
One of the flagship activities is hosting students from various schools, who have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the fascinating animal world while understanding the delicate situation of some species and our fundamental role in their conservation.
Every year, the doors are opened for the renowned summer course, where children enjoy three unforgettable weeks surrounded by nature and fun. Expert instructors guide the little ones through playful activities designed not only to awaken their curiosity but also to cultivate empathy and love for the care of animals and our planet.
To make this exciting project possible, we need your help. If you are a committed young person, passionate about biodiversity and nature, with a love for fun and children's activities, join us! Become part of the volunteer team and contribute to the maintenance of the facilities and the development of educational activities during the summer course!
