Our enthusiastic volunteers provide valuable support for our zoo keepers. Volunteers are part of a fun team where they get to spend time with others who share their interests. Volunteers can enhance our visitors' experiences by sharing their knowledge and passion for wildlife conservation.
If so then volunteering at the zoo could be just for you! Fill out the volunteer application form below and we'll be in touch.
Please note: All volunteers must be over 16 years old and be able to work independently. Also due to the volume of volunteer applications you will be placed on a waiting list and contacted once a volunteer position becomes available.
Brooklands Zoo is affiliated with the New Zealand Certificate in Animal Management (Captive Wild Animals) distance learning course through Unitec Auckland and we have work experience placements each year via that course.
There are also limited Gateway programme places available for high school students. For more information on work experience placements email enquiries@npdc.govt.nz.
