Director of Community Engagement

ACT for Animals / Operation Foster ( https://www.pactforanimals.org ) is seeking a Director of Community Engagement to lead outreach, recruit fosters and volunteers, and build local partnerships that help keep pets and families together. This is a fully remote, self-directed role for someone who can design and execute strategy independently while collaborating closely with our small team to match fosters and share impact stories.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and implement outreach strategies to recruit new fosters and volunteers in target regions; mentor local volunteer leads.
• Drive outreach through Facebook, Instagram, and community groups — posting stories, responding to inquiries, and keeping conversations active.
• Build partnerships with vets, rescues, shelters, pet stores, and military or civic groups.
• Monitor social channels daily (including limited weekends) to respond to inquiries and maintain connection.
• Coordinate local campaigns and events that raise awareness and support recruitment.
• Track progress and report outcomes—fosters onboarded, volunteers activated, partnerships formed.

Who You Are

• 3–5+ years in community engagement or volunteer management (animal welfare a plus).
• Proven ability to build programs independently with minimal supervision.
• Recruiter’s mindset: self-motivated to connect with new people every day.
• Skilled with Facebook Groups, LinkedIn, and other digital outreach tools.
• Organized, results-oriented, and genuinely passionate about helping people and pets.
• Bonus: experience creating business posts and/or ads on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.

What Success Looks Like

• 5 regional programs launched and active
• 200+ new fosters and volunteers recruited
• 5–10 volunteer leads trained
• 15–20 veterinary, shelter partnerships and/or military relationships established
• Strong digital engagement and local presence

Why You’ll Love It

• Autonomy: You own your strategy—no micromanaging.
• Mission with Heart: Every foster you recruit keeps a family and pet together.
• Remote Flexibility: Work from anywhere in the U.S.
• Growth Potential: Opportunity to shape and grow this national expansion.

Please note that start date is flexible (site required a start date).

Also please note that social media experience is a helpful part of this but the real key will be consistently doing outreach to find and cultivate fosters and volunteers.
