National Volunteer Week!

April 30, 2026 by Anna 9 Comments

Last week was technically National Volunteer Week, but I’ve been holding on to this video until after it premiered at the beginning of our Volunteer Appreciation Movie Night screening of JANE we had at the Roslyn Theater last Saturday. Special thanks go out to local businesses The Roslyn Theater, Covey Goods, Bright and Day, Roslyn Mexican Grill, Feather and Larch, and Basecamp Books and Bites for helping treat our volunteers and staff to this special evening. Please join us in sending all the love and gratitude to our hardworking volunteers!

    The quote by Judy Bloom says it all! It’s perfect. Thank you to everyone who gives their time, energy, and love to ensure the chimps live the best possible life. You make the hard work look like a ton of fun. I wish I lived closer, I’d love to become one your many volunteers. Yay CSNW volunteers!!

    To all the volunteer providers of care to the residents of the Sanctuary, past and present, I am proud — grateful — of your dedication. Now we can see the precision in which the nightbags are folded. I’ve no doubt that Neggie appreciates your extra touch to her nightly treasure.

    There are not enough words to express the love and gratitude that is so richly deserved by the volunteers (and entire staff plus supporters) of CSNW. The rewards are seen every day in the videos posted, even if we don’t see each of you, we know you’re there and clearly so do the chimpanzee people. Your fingerprints are on all of our hearts. Thank you!
