EDUCATION

Our potential to change the world is profound!

… and our responsibility to do so is essential. By providing the tools and hands-on learning for our youth, each endeavor establishes a connection to nature. When we engage the mind and touch the heart, we set a course toward a more sustainable and conservation-oriented future. Brevard Zoo’s focus on science education and ecological literacy is core to our goal of creating the next generation of conscious stewards. The Zoo fosters a lifelong love of science through experiential learning opportunities like camps, field trips, youth programming, enlightening teacher workshops and engaging outreach programs in classrooms both on and off-site.

MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES

Many people wish to make a gift in memory of a friend or relative who has passed away. The Zoo has many ways to help you memorialize loved ones. You may also consider a donation honoring a person or achievement. Some people prefer to give a charitable gift, in honor of someone’s birthday, anniversary or graduation, in lieu of a gift to the honoree.

Leave a legacy! Planned gifts help Brevard Zoo strategize for the future. They include life income gifts such as annuities or trusts as well as bequests in your estate. In many cases, you may be able to leave a larger gift than you thought possible while still providing for the needs of your heirs.
