About the Role

Thousands of vulnerable, long-stay shelter animals remain unseen simply because local shelters lack the digital bandwidth to showcase them beyond their facility walls. The Animal Cause, Inc. is building a national visibility network (including our Mercy Stage initiative) that pairs creative storytelling with powerful digital tools to bring these overlooked animals into the spotlight.

We have established digital platforms, accounts, and Google Nonprofit tools waiting to be activated. We aren't looking for one person to "do it all." Instead, we are building a collaborative team of digital volunteers where you can contribute in your specific area of expertise.
