Description

The Brandywine Zoo is looking for volunteer groups (ages 14+) with 15 or less participants to help us wrangle our jungle of weeds or schedule a service project for their teams, classes, and more!

A group service project is a great way to provide your organization with an opportunity:

  • To give back to the community or to learn about the value of service.
  • To promote team building or collaboration.
  • To embrace a new challenge together or to step outside a comfort zone in a safe, fun social setting.
  • To learn about Delaware State Parks operations and to see the impact of the group's service.
  • To take a break from the office, warehouse, classroom, etc., and enjoy the great outdoors.
  • To accumulate service hours collectively.

The types of service projects available to groups are based on seasonal needs at the Brandywine Zoo, progress of the zoo's improvement projects, and other factors. Service projects for school groups may prioritize educational value and are intended to be age-appropriate.

Coordinators for group service projects may RESPOND AS TEAM to this opportunity and ask about scheduling a date and time that is compatible with the group's schedule. Please give us a minimum of one month to plan a project, so we can ensure there is work available to be done.

Note: If you respond to this opportunity, you will be added to a list of interested volunteers and contacted when a project is available and can be scheduled.


Two time slots are available: 9:00am-11:00am and 10:00am-12:00pm.
