Education Program Mentors take a leading role in facilitating environmental education through informal/non-formal experiences for people of all ages. These programs instill and foster a lifelong love for nature and animals as well as introduce or develop passions for activities that tie directly to wildlife and/or wild places. Through live animal presentations, games, and Zoo hikes, mentors will help children to adults to provide a link between people and nature and meet these program goals.
