Red River Zoo

Diet Prep Volunteer Shifts 🥕🦜 Diet Prep shifts are a great way to get hands-on and directly support our Zookeepers and the animals in our care. Volunteers assist with preparing daily diets for a variety of species, helping ensure each animal receives proper nutrition to support their health and well-being. All Diet Prep shifts are completed under the supervision of Marcy Thompson, one of our Zookeepers, and no prior experience is required. Training and guidance are provided during each shift. NOTE: First-time Diet Prep volunteers must complete a Saturday training shift before signing up for any additional Diet Prep shifts. Your time and support play an important role in animal care operations, and this opportunity offers a behind-the-scenes look at how nutrition supports animal welfare at the Zoo.
