Junior Achievement Seeking Volunteers
Currently, JA of the Space Coast has 23 open classrooms...that means a teacher has requested a JA program, but we are still trying to find a volunteer to deliver the program. We provide all materials and training. You'll need to plan on 1-2 hours of prep time, and then 5-6 weekly visits of up to one hour.
Let JASC's Education Manager Candice Hodge or your child’s teacher know today if you’re interested!
Brevard Zoo building home for rescued bears
Brevard Zoo is working diligently with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) to provide a permanent home for bears who cannot remain in their natural habitat due to unfortunate circumstances.
A 20-month-old, as-yet-unnamed Florida black bear arrived in August and will make her appearance to guests in early 2019. The bear has already formed bonds with keepers, who have been providing her with daily interactive enrichments. They report that she is very smart, curious and attentive. The Zoo’s veterinary and animal care staff conducted an overall wellness check and found her to be in good health.
The bear was brought to the Zoo after FWC responded to a report of a Tallahassee-area woman feeding dog food and water to a bear. Because the animal was accustomed to receiving food from this woman, she did not know how to take care of herself without interacting with humans; this could have resulted in a tragic incident if the bear remained in her natural habitat.
