The National Zoo is looking for volunteers for its annual Boo at the Zoo event. The event has more than 40 treat stations, animal demonstrations, keeper chats, and decorated trails. New this year will be an entertainment stage with magicians, jugglers, and a DJ spinning Halloween favorites. Also, don't miss a themed hay maze and scarecrow field. Volunteers would be helping with all of these stages. Please keep in mind that you may be outside for all or part of the event, so be mindful of the weather when selecting your costume! If you elect not to wear a costume, please where khaki bottoms and a solid color shirt or jacket with minimal logos. In order to volunteer, you MUST register here: https://nationalzoo.si.edu/Support/Volunteer/dcRecruiting.cfm under the section that says Boo at the Zoo BY october 12th. If you do not register, you cannot attend. On the day of, plan to check in at the Visitor's center at the zoo at 4:30 pm so you have time to eat the FREE dinner that is provided. The event itself will run 5:30-8:30 pm, so travel time has been included. You may sign up to work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or more than one day. Please note: we will assign you based on your preferences; if you can only work one day, please pick which day best suits your schedule. Volunteers should be comfortable with a hilly and possibly lengthy, walk to their assigned station.
