While we are booked for Corporate Group opportunities for the 2026 season, we are still accepting Group Applications for Zoo Boo 2026 (below). Check back for more Corporate Group opportunities in early 2027!
If your organization is looking for a wild way to spend a day of community service, look no further. The Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium can host volunteer groups on Tuesdays-Thursdays, on select dates April-June and September-October. Corporate groups will work with Zoo Staff members from our Horticulture or Grounds Departments to assist with tasks such as seasonal planting, weeding, mulching, or helping to prepare for upcoming Special Events. You may work hard, but you will also have fun and help to keep our Zoo beautiful!
All corporate group volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. The maximum group size is 20. Most group volunteer opportunities take place outside, rain or shine, and can require walking, bending, lifting, and carrying. Please see the application form below for more information, and available dates, and to submit a request to begin scheduling your day of volunteering.
Check back for the Corporate Group application in early 2027.
NEW! Group Volunteer opportunity for Zoo Boo 2026!
Trick or Treat! We need some “sweet” volunteer groups to help with candy distribution throughout the Zoo during our annual Zoo Boo event, October 17, 18, 24, and 25. Your group can choose the morning shift from 9:30am-12pm, the afternoon shift from 12pm-3pm, or stick around for both. We can accept up to 30 volunteers per Zoo Boo shift. Volunteers under the age of 18 are welcome to help at Zoo Boo as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian and are able to assist with the assigned volunteer task. Please see the application below for more information, and to submit a request to reserve your group’s spot on the Trick or Treat trail!
The Zoo Boo Group Application is available here.
