Help Build the Team That Will Help Build the Mission
“And of some have compassion, making a difference.” — Jude 1:22
The Animal Cause, Inc. is building a volunteer-powered organization designed to serve vulnerable animals through rescue, transport, animal care, visibility, partnerships, fundraising, and programs that help animals move from crisis toward better outcomes.
None of that can be built by one person.
The organization we are building requires people with different skills, experiences, and callings working together.
The Volunteer Recruiting & Talent Team helps us find those people, understand where they can contribute, and move qualified applicants through a structured process toward appropriate volunteer opportunities.
This is not simply an administrative recruiting position.
It is an opportunity to help build the human infrastructure of the organization.
The team will help turn:
“I want to help animals.”
into:
“Here is where I can serve, here is what I can do, and here is how I can contribute effectively.”
What the Team Will Help Build
The Volunteer Recruiting & Talent Team will help establish a consistent process for:
- Identifying prospective volunteers
- Reviewing incoming applications
- Understanding applicants' skills and experience
- Matching people with appropriate areas of need
- Communicating with applicants
- Coordinating interviews
- Supporting the onboarding process
- Tracking applicant progress
- Following up on incomplete steps
- Identifying promising candidates
- Recognizing when additional screening is needed
- Building a pipeline of future volunteers and volunteer leaders
As The Animal Cause grows, the team will help create a recruiting process that can operate consistently without every applicant requiring the founder's direct attention from beginning to end.
How We Work
The Animal Cause is intentionally organized around specialized volunteer teams.
The Recruiting & Talent Team may collaborate with:
- Project Managers / Execution Coordinators
- Department Leads
- Learning & Development
- Communications
- Digital Media
- Fundraising
- Technology & AI
- Animal Care
- Foster & Placement
- Transport
- Mercy Stage
- Other developing teams and departments
A recruiting team member may therefore work with applicants who have expertise in areas completely different from their own.
Your job is not to know everything the organization needs.
Your job is to help identify what someone brings, document it accurately, and help connect that person with the appropriate team or next step.

Our Biblical Foundation
“And of some have compassion, making a difference.” — Jude 1:22
We believe building a team is itself an act of stewardship.
God does not call every person to the same work. Scripture describes many members with different functions, working together toward a common purpose.
The Recruiting & Talent Team exists to help identify those different gifts and place them where they can serve effectively.
We are not merely filling volunteer positions. We are helping people discover where their abilities can be used in service to God's creation and the mission He has entrusted to us.
The work belongs to God. We are entrusted to serve faithfully.

Compassion. Stewardship. Advocacy.
Rescued to Heal. Redeemed to Serve
