Position Summary

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.

Team members will identify organizations and communities with potential volunteers, determine the appropriate point of contact, conduct approved outreach, communicate available volunteer opportunities, follow up with interested individuals or groups, and track recruitment results.

The team will work closely with the Volunteer Recruiting Team and other program teams to ensure that recruited volunteers are directed toward real, current organizational needs.
