Volunteers & Interns

The Primate Rescue Center is lucky to have a web of loyal volunteers, interns, and off-site participants who assist with a plethora of tasks to keeping the sanctuary running smoothly. From primate diet and enrichment prep, monkey and chimp enclosure cleaning, human area cleaning and organizing, sanctuary groundskeeping and maintenance, to administrative support and special events — we couldn’t do it without our amazing Volunteer & Intern Team!
