Nashville, TN – Nashville Zoo is hosting an open house for anyone interested in joining the Zoo’s docent program. The open house will take place Saturday, January 10th from 11:00am – 1:00pm in the Zoo’s Croft Center.
Docents are a specialized group of the Zoo’s volunteer corps who are committed to educating the public about the Zoo’s animals as well as conservation and wildlife issues. Through specialized training and practice, a docent interacts with the public through the use of live animals, biofacts and other educational tools.
Interested parties should contact Chris Radek, manager of onsite interpretation, at 615.833.1534 ext. 146 or cradek@nashvillezoo.org.
