The Detroit Zoo is embarking on an ambitious undertaking - the opening of the largest penguin facility in the world! The Polk Penguin Conservation Center's 33,000-square-foot size will require a few extras hands and the Detroit Zoo needs volunteers, WHIO reports. Thus, the Detroit Zoo is launching an initiative where local Detroit natives, including adolescents, can get involved helping with the Detroit Zoo's various attractions.
The first volunteer orientation session of 2016 will take place at the Detroit Zoo's Ford Education Center on Saturday, March 5 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Fox 2 reports.

Online applications are also found on the site. For any other questions, residents can call: (248) 541-5717 extension - 3802 or email: volunteer@detroitzoo.org.
