Office of the Founder - Global

There are so many people all over the world who help the Jane Goodall Institute by volunteering their time or services. Every month, three special friends from Maryland travel to the JGI-USA office in Arlington, Virginia, to help with whatever task is at hand. They have even supported JGI staffers at many of Jane's lectures and speeches in the area.

The third stop on Jane's Spring 2010 USA lecture tour was to St. Louis Park, Minnesota, near Minneapolis. Jane was in town to give a keynote lecture at Beth El Synagogue, where her friend Gil Mann is president of the congregation. In front of the synagogue's beautiful stained glass windows, she spoke to a sold-out crowd of more than 1,300 people.

While Jane was in Washington, DC in April she not only received the AAG Atlas Award, she also spent the day at Sidwell Friends School. Sidwell Friends is a PK-12, co-educational Quaker day school with campuses in Washington, DC and Bethesda, MD.
