The Arc of Story County

We are one week away from Jurassic Arc at Blank Park Zoo: Where Inclusion Roars!!

We have some very specific volunteer needs in order to make this event as inclusive and welcoming as possible.

From 9:30-11:45am and 11:45-2pm we need 12 volunteers to be Inclusion Expedition Guides. That is a total of 24 spots that need to be filled. This would be perfect for a parent and child or caregiver and individual with disabilities.

Help facilitate:
*Giraffe feeding
*Assist with board and disembarking from the train
*Supervise the Dino Digging area near the playground
*Parakeet encounters

From 11:45-2pm we need 7 Dino Documentarians who will interview participants, take pictures and video of the participants.

Please reach out or sign up via the link.
