Volunteering at the Animal Kingdom?

[Nomi]

I asked a similar question on the community board, and I was directed here. Does disney offer any volunteer programs in the animal kingdom, or at the aquariums in Epcot?

I doubt it.

Most large city zoos, even the San Diego zoo, are non-profit and even though AK is a fully accredited zoo they are most definitely not non-profit.

Any for profit company would have problems using volunteers, there are labor issues and a general feeling from the paid employees that they are stealing my job.

Though as I'm typing this I'm recall seeing a TV program where they showed them bringing in divers to clean the Epcot tank but maybe this was another zoo.

Warning silly stuff ahead

If Disney did did do something like this they would tack the word Experience at the end of the program and charge you $75 plus admission.
