Help gibbons from home! Join our virtual volunteer team and help out at your own pace.
It’s a minimum 6 months commitment but you choose what you’re able to do, and it can be as little as 2 hours a week!
In this program you volunteer from home, but if you’re keen to volunteer onsite at the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, check out the GReP Volunteer Program.
SO HOW DOES IT WORK?
As a volunteer, you will help us spread awareness on the plight of gibbons, raise funds for both gibbon rehabilitation projects, do research, keep the society running smoothly, and ultimately help create a positive future for the singing apes of Malaysia.
You’ll be asked to chose a team or field of interest:

In case you missed it, you may be committing to at least 6 months, but it isn’t full time. You can do a little as 2 hours a week!
On the other hand, if you can spare 4 weeks (full time), you can volunteer onsite through the GReP Volunteer Program.
If you can’t do either, you can still help by donating, buying merchandise or sharing awareness about gibbons to your family and friends.
Choose a field where you can think you can contribute the most or pick something that interests you. Why not develop a new skill while you’re helping out?
Volunteer coordinators may ask you to choose a different field depending on what is needed at the time, but if it’s something you’re not keen on, just let us know!
Testimonials
“I really enjoy this volunteering program. I feel like I get a new family because GCS Team are very welcoming to me. I learned a lot, especially how to communicate with people, replying messages and comments, creating contents. It’s not only about creating gibbon contents, but also having a goal to educate people and tell them that gibbons are exist. Everyone should try joining this program.”
