    Building our new Pony Patch for our Expanding Reading Program

    We’re dreaming bigger for our Reading Education Assistance Ponies program. Our latest initiative, Pony Patch, will create a dedicated, Zoo-accessible space where children can build skills and confidence by reading to Toby and Tallulah or gather for storytime and other literacy experiences.

    We’re looking for a Pony Patch Project Manager to help coordinate the launch, along with volunteers who can contribute expertise in landscaping, carpentry/building, community partnerships, and sponsorships, including donated plants, materials, furniture, books, and other supplies.
