Corporate & College Volunteer Recruitment Team

About the role

The Corporate & College Volunteer Recruitment Team will help The Animal Cause, Inc. expand its volunteer base by actively recruiting people from corporations, businesses, colleges, universities, student organizations, professional groups, and other organized communities. The purpose of this team is to take The Animal Cause's volunteer opportunities directly to places where potential volunteers already gather and help move interested individuals from awareness to application, screening, and appropriate volunteer placement. This is an active recruitment role—not simply a research or administrative position.
