Volunteer

Share in the experience! Our volunteers are a vital part of the magic of Tracy Aviary. While the Aviary certainly benefits from the time, energies, and talents of our volunteers, they in turn enjoy hands-on experiences, meet others with similar interests, and help support one of only two public aviaries in the nation. Investigate the types of volunteer positions available and choose one that’s right for you. You need only complete a volunteer application to get started.

Please email completed and signed applications to volunteers@tracyaviary.org or mail to:

Volunteer Coordinator
589 East 1300 South
Salt Lake City, Utah 84105

Upon submission of your application, we will contact you to discuss your application and opportunities that interest you.
