Join our efforts to help make the world a kinder place by interning at our offices in Washington, DC or Los Angeles!  It’s a fun and informative way to get hands-on experience as an effective animal advocate while also gaining a deeper understanding of farmed animal issues and the tools available to spread a message of compassion.

Outreach Internships

Available in DC or LA, our outreach internship program is looking for energetic and committed individuals determined to make a difference for animals.  As an intern, you’ll have opportunities to be involved in a diverse range of projects, get active in our national and local campaigns, and network with others in the community.

• organizing events such as feed-ins or speaker presentations
• leafleting at busy street corners, festivals, or concerts
• staffing educational booths at community fairs/festivals
• distributing pro-veg materials around the city
• meeting with restaurants or calling companies about offering more vegan options
• coordinating research projects
• day-to-day activities in the office

Full- and Part-Time Positions Available:

• Full-time internships are considered to be a minimum of 8 weeks at 30 to 40 hours per week, and are eligible for minimal commuting stipend upon request (amount to be determined).
• Part-time internships are considered to be at 4 to 8 weeks and/or fewer than 30 hours per week, and are not eligible for a stipend.  If you’re unable to commit to at least 4 weeks, please consider signing up as a volunteer!
