Wildlife Conservation Society Charity Profile

The Wildlife Conservation Society saves wildlife and wild lands. We do so through careful science, international conservation, education, and the management of the world’s largest system of urban wildlife parks, led by the flagship Bronx Zoo. Together, these activities change individual attitudes toward nature and help people imagine wildlife and humans living in sustainable interaction on both a local and a global scale. WCS is committed to this work because we believe it essential to the integrity of life on Earth.

Wildlife Conservation Society Volunteer Information

As a volunteer at the Bronx Zoo, New York Aquarium, and Central Park, Queens, and Prospect Park Zoos, you’ll be an important part of the WCS team. The docent programs at all our parks include fascinating training sessions that teach you about wildlife and conservation, and how to share what you’ve learned with the nearly 4 million people who visit our New York facilities each year.

Volunteering is a great way to turn your enthusiasm for nature into action that makes a difference. Right here, check out the volunteer programs at each of our parks below– we’re eager to welcome you to the WCS family.

The Friends of the Zoo, the docent organization in the Education Department at the Bronx Zoo, invites you to join them in promoting wildlife conservation. The word docent is derived from the Latin word meaning, "to teach." Zoo Docents are special volunteers who are committed to interpreting the natural world and promoting conservation for zoo visitors. Enthusiastic adults, 18 or older, who can serve weekdays or weekends, for a minimum period of two years, are prime candidates for the program. Weekday docents serve one day per week; weekend docents serve one day every other weekend.
