Friends of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium supports the Columbus Zoo through volunteerism, fundraising, public awareness and community outreach.
Friends of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium volunteers are a group of professionals and committed Zoo advocates interested in supporting the Columbus Zoo's mission of connecting people and wildlife. Members volunteer as a group to support the Zoo's major events, including Zoofari, Boo at the Zoo, and Wildlights.
As members of Friends of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, we are ambassadors of the Zoo and educate the public to increase awareness of the Zoo’s mission, educational programs, and impact that the Columbus Zoo has within the community, nation and the world alike.
In addition to supporting the Zoo, members experience an insider’s view of the Zoo, meet key Zoo staff and many of the zoo keepers, encounter endangered and exotic animals through education programs, and go behind-the-scenes to get a first-hand look at the work being done at our world-class Zoo.
