NALZS AMBASSADORS
WHAT IS IT
Ambassadors are North Alabama Zoological Society members who put passion into action through nature education, wildlife conservation, community outreach, and grassroots fundraising.
Working shoulder-to-shoulder with NALZS staff, Ambassadors expand public engagement and momentum toward building the future zoo.
WHO CAN JOIN
Anyone with a heart for nature. Students, parents, educators, retirees—no experience required. We’ll train you.
Some youth-facing roles may need a brief background check. If you can give a little time and enthusiasm, you’ll fit right in.
