New England Primate Conservancy is a grassroots nonprofit organization that depends upon the skill, talents, and generosity of its volunteers to accomplish the essential and important tasks associated with animal protection, care and humane education. Our volunteers make our programs successful!
We'll work with your schedule. Volunteer opportunities do not require a prescribed number of months, but they do require the commitment of your time and talents. We ask you to honor your commitment to the number of hours per week that you pledge to us upon signing on as a volunteer. Since you may be largely self-managed, we expect you to honor those commitments and meet your deadlines.
Whether it's writing for our Primate Species Profiles series, developing lessons and activities for our education programs or website, designing graphics, developing videos, fundraising, planning events, or participating in an internship for college credits, there is something for almost everyone who wants to do their part to help animals.
We do not have any paid employment opportunities at this time. If you are interested in a volunteer or internship position, please check out the open positions and email us with your interest and qualifications, as requested.
Please email us with your interest, resume, and/ or volunteer application. Volunteer applications can be down loaded from the bottom of this and each of the Volunteer Opportunities pages. Email addresses are listed after each volunteer job description.
No phone inquiries please.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Be a Champion for Primate Conservationist
New England Primate Conservancy seeks a talented individual with excellent verbal and written communication skills to interview primate conservationists in the field for our popular Primate Conservationist Limelight web series.
New England Primate Conservancy is an educational conservation organization that is committed to leaving a legacy of hope, and tools to build a better tomorrow for all the Earth's citizens. More than two-thirds of our primate cousins are threatened by extinction. With online learning activities, games, infographics, photos, stories, facts, slideshows, videos, and a wealth of resources for one’s personal interest or to create stimulating multi-disciplinary learning environments, we educate the public about nonhuman primates and their habitats to save them from extinction... because education is the heart of animal protection.
For this volunteer opportunity, you should be experienced in and comfortable with scheduling and conducting telephone interviews, some of which will be international. Calls can be made free-of-charge via What’s App or similar. When a subject is completely unavailable via phone, you may craft an email interview. A telephone interview is the preferred communication method, however.
You will also secure photos of the subject, and permission to use them, from the interviewee to enhance the story, along with their photos of the primate species or habitats in which he or she specializes.
After the interview, you will craft a lovely conservationist bio for our website, using a formula that we have already developed, but written in your voice. The purpose of the bio is to introduce the public to the conservation heroes with boots-on-the-ground in their field of expertise and who are making positive change possible.
Some familiarity with primatology, anthropology, conservation, environmental protection, or primate-related subject matter would be useful in accomplishing these tasks.
This volunteer position can be accomplished from your home, with email and phone correspondence with the Education Team Director. If you are a mature writer with a passion for conservation and wildlife protection, this opportunity may be for you.
Minimum age 25.
10-ish hours per month…It's flexible! We'll work with your schedule.
Send writing samples, along with your resume or CV and letter of interest.
You must have internet and email access. NEPC will provide access to appropriate apps.
Please send letter of interest and resume or CV to:
