Calling all ghosts and goblins! We need your help to make our fall events spooktacluar (Boo at the Zoo, Harvest Fest, and Trick-or-Treat Nights)! We are looking for folks to help us staff craft, activity and treat stations during the event. This is a great opportunity to help Elmwood Park Zoo create a safe space for families to enjoy Halloween and have some fun.

• Volunteering sessions are great for families, groups or individuals.
• All volunteers must be over the age of 14.
• All stations will be managed in accordance with social distancing guidelines.
• Family friendly costumes are more than welcome!
