About Michael Kaufmann

Michael E. Kaufmann serves as the Director of the Farm and Wildlife Center and the Green Chimneys Institute, where he leverages over 25 years of expertise in animal welfare, animal-assisted activities, and humane education. Since joining Green Chimneys Children’s Services in 2005, Michael has been instrumental in developing innovative programs that integrate animal-assisted therapy into the therapeutic framework for children with psychosocial disabilities. His leadership encompasses the management of a dedicated team of 20 farm staff members, ensuring that each program aligns with the organization's mission to foster healing and growth through nature and animals.

Under Michael's guidance, the Farm and Wildlife Center has become a sanctuary for over 300 farm animals and wildlife, providing rehabilitation and care while also serving as a dynamic learning environment for the 190 children enrolled in various programs. His strategic planning skills have been pivotal in the development of animal-assisted programs that not only enhance the children's emotional and social skills but also promote responsibility and empathy towards animals. Additionally, Michael oversees the management of two organic gardens, which serve as an educational resource for children, teaching them about sustainability and the importance of environmental stewardship.

Michael's commitment to animal welfare and education is reflected in his ability to create engaging, hands-on experiences that resonate with children and foster a sense of connection to the natural world. His expertise in program management and development, combined with his passion for customer service and community engagement, positions him as a leader in the field of animal-assisted therapy and humane education.
