The Phoenix Zoo is seeking an Outreach Specialist to serve as a traveling ambassador and educator for the Phoenix Zoo. This person will present educational programs about the natural world, off-grounds, in a variety of settings, such as schools, libraries, businesses, senior communities/care centers, corporate and special events, and in-home birthday parties. The Outreach Specialist assists the Outreach Supervisor and the Manager of Educational Programs in the development of interactive and entertaining educational programs. This position also requires a great deal of animal husbandry; animal handling, transportation, and presentation must all be completed according to established animal handling protocols, and at times  traveling and staying overnight away from the zoo will require 24 hour awareness of animal comfort and condition.

Inspiring and motivating people to care for the natural world is part of the Phoenix Zoo’s mission statement. Our ZooToYou, Zoomobile, and Distance Learning Outreach programs fulfill this mission by delivering educational and exciting programs throughout Arizona. Phoenix Zoo Outreach Specialists strive to engage audiences about the wonders of our earth and the animals with whom we share it.
