As a state agency, the Minnesota Zoo relies on state funding for a significant portion of its budget each year.  The Zoo needs young people like you to connect with legislators to advocate on their behalf.

AZUL, the young patrons group of the Minnesota Zoo, invites young professionals who are passionate about wildlife conservation and education to attend “Advocacy 101” this Saturday, Mar. 24, to learn the basics of state government funding and the current bonding bill.

Find out what you need to know to take action in the community to advocate for the Minnesota Zoo!
