The Folks Behind the Curtain

April 20, 2015 by Elizabeth

We’ve talked before about how much we rely on volunteer help to do what we do here at the sanctuary. Since last week was National Volunteer Week, we thought it’d be a good time to mention it again.

Volunteers are involved in every aspect of the chimpanzees’ care. Every good thing we are able to do for the chimps is made possible, or easier, by volunteers. They are dedicated, selfless, compassionate, and tireless. They are the chimps’ advocates and caregivers and friends. Their work is not always glamorous, but it always makes a difference.

Our volunteers work hard everyday to create a home where Jody and the others can kick back and put their feet up.
