Become an Air Zoo Advocate!
The Air Zoo Advocate Program is a professional development and partnership program for educators. We are looking for top-flight teachers who will serve as liaisons between the Air Zoo and their school. Advocate participants will be selected from those who teach in a variety of content areas and grade levels throughout Michigan.
Advocates will:
- Be trained on all of the Air Zoo’s resources, collections, education programs and how to lead a focused field trip.
- Serve in an advisory role to assist with the development of new educational programs and events.
- Receive discounts on teacher in-services, first chance at special opportunities for their students and regular newsletters.
- Have the exclusive opportunity to attend NASA’s “Mobile Moon Rocks” training – bring a real moon rock sample to your school!
Although our Advocate Program is set for 2006, we’ll gladly take contact information for the 2007-2008 school year. Please contact the Air Zoo at (269) 382-6555 x144 or toll-free (866) 524-7966 x144 if you are interested.

New programs and “teacher-only” offers will be presented throughout the school year. Make sure you’re the first to hear about them!
