ZOOfari Outreach Program – We bring the Zoo to You!

As a not-for-profit organization, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens depends heavily on direct contributions to sustain our educational programs.  Right now, we need your support for the ZOOfari Outreach Program, which takes our Zoo on the road to schools, libraries, senior centers and local community events.

The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens educators make each ZOOfari Outreach Program come alive to deliver exciting educational experiences and conservation messages for our varied audiences.  Funding is especially needed to sustain and expand programs for schools in needy neighborhoods and outlying areas which no longer have resources for a class field trip to the Zoo.

You can help build a love of nature and the animal world in the lives of many children and adults.  Your gift will also provide for the care and feeding of our animal collection and maintenance of park amenities. Please consider a generous gift and invest in the success of one of Jacksonville’s best loved and shining community assets! 

Yours from the Zoo,

Tony Vecchio
Executive Director
