About the provider
The Friends and the JMZ have grown together for more than nine decades. Founded in 1934, the Associates reorganized in 1990 as the Friends of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo. The organization supports science education in classrooms, at the JMZ, and throughout the community, including thousands of students each year in the Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto. It also supports accessibility efforts such as Super Family Sundays.
