Our Faith Outreach program works with faith communities nationwide under the premise that religious values call upon us to act in a kind and merciful way towards all creatures. Almost all religious traditions have statements regarding animals.
As part of our mission to engage people and institutions of faith with animal protection issues, we are seeking Faith Outreach Volunteers to implement this work in select states nationwide.
Faith Outreach Volunteers will gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between religion and animal protection. They will help bring to light the moral issues of how our society treats animals while strengthening important skills such as networking, critical thinking, and community outreach. They will have the opportunity to work directly with local faith leaders and animal welfare experts as part of a prominent animal welfare organization.
To apply, please visit http://www.humanesociety.org/community/volunteers/volunteer-faith-outreach.html
After review of your application, a staff member will contact you to discuss the opportunity. Before becoming an official volunteer, you must sign a volunteer agreement and sign a waiver/release of liability.
