    Description

    Volunteer Board Member - Animal Welfare (Remote/Light Time Commitment)

    Volunteer Board Member - United Stray of USA | Remote | Unpaid

    If you care about stray animals and animal welfare and want to help at the leadership level without a heavy time load we'd love to hear from you.

    United Stray of USA is a national animal welfare nonprofit that funds and supports rescues, shelters, sanctuaries, cat colonies and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) neighborhood caregivers helping stray cats, dogs, rescue horses, and other animals in crisis. We are in our foundation-building stage preparing for our 501(c)(3) and need a few more thoughtful board members to help us do it well.

    Time: 1-3 hours per month (mostly email and short virtual communication).

    Responsibilities: Light governance, review key documents, and share expertise as we launch.

    Qualifications: A good fit if you have some experience with animal welfare and/or legal, financial or marketing skills, nonprofits -- but most importantly a genuine heart for this mission.

    This is a volunteer role. No paycheck, no daily rescue shifts -- just a chance to help strengthen the backbone of those individuals or organizations who are serving on the front line.

    To apply, please send a short note. UnitedStrayofUSA.org Thank you!

    How to Volunteer for This Opportunity

    Remote and Prefer Iowa or adjacent States but would consider outside this area as we plan on serving and planning national outreach.
