What We Do

As a Volunteer Tour Leader at the Center for Great Apes, you will have the rewarding opportunity to lead scheduled guided tours for members, guests, or special visitors. Your role is to share the Center’s mission, history, and the individual stories of our orangutan and chimpanzee residents while promoting education, conservation, and sanctuary awareness. Tour Guides must feel comfortable speaking to groups, managing group flow and safety, and engaging visitors with accurate, respectful information about the apes and their care. Tour leaders must go through a separate training program before they can conduct tours.

Tours include member tours, ape adoption tours, and group tours.
