This program is open to anyone ages 13 to 17. Persons interested in joining are required to go through an application and interview process, which occurs in the fall. Upon acceptance, the individuals receive information about our animals and an Ambassador Handbook and go though formal training near the end of winter. The training sessions cover information about individual animals and their care. Our Ambassadors are required to volunteer during the summer, helping with camps and animal husbandry. Recently, our Ambassador program has partnered with the Boy Scouts of America. The Boy Scouts of America offers insurance to our Ambassadors for a small, additional fee.

The cost of the Ambassador program is $25.00, which covers the cost of the Ambassador uniform. The Boy Scouts of America charges an additional fee for insurance coverage.

Please call the Education Department at (541) 679-6761 ext. 221 for more information.

Deadline for applications are due by Monday, November 19th.  Candidates will be notified if they are selected for an interview.
