5 Ways to Volunteer at Wildlife Reserves Singapore

1. Be a Docent

Docents are also known as our volunteer rangers. Stationed at strategic ‘Ranger Stations’ around the Jurong Bird Park, Zoo and Night Safari, they excite visitors with tools of engagement ranging from animal specimens (yes, they are real) to storytelling sessions. Through interaction with visitors, it is every docent’s aim to raise conservation awareness.

2. Be a Conservation Ambassador

Friendly and enthusiastic, our conservation ambassadors are our youthful spokespeople for wildlife. Guided tours are their forte and they enjoy sharing animal facts and info with visitors.

3. Join us as a Wildlife Buddy

Buddy up to do your part for wildlife! After training by our education staff, Wildlife Buddies will in turn become wildlife guides for their ‘buddies’. You can sign up as a class or with a group of like-minded friends.

4. Education Volunteer

Education volunteers help out in all aspects of an education officer’s job, which includes the running of in-park programmes, school talks, outdoor camps and even husbandry for education’s collection of animals. They also assist in the upkeep of our specimens as well as our library of animal-related books.

5. Veterinary Volunteer
