Goldman Sachs & Merry Traditions

Students Embrace the Scientific Process

May 23, 2023

For many years, Goldman, Sachs & Co. has partnered with Green Chimneys to bring hope and healing to children suffering from mental health and developmental challenges through innovative animal-assisted and nature-based therapies.

Our Special Education School and Residential Treatment Center, located on a farm and wildlife center in Brewster, New York, provide academic and therapeutic programming. In addition, we work with our rescued animals and wildlife, which helps children develop valuable life and relationship skills and empathy through assisting in their care.

In honor of Green Chimneys’ 75th anniversary year, The Newman’s Own Foundation and The Engelstad Foundation are making an extra special gift by matching every single dollar — up to $75,000 — received before December 31!

Brownie

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
