Support our campaigns from home

Phone banking is an easy, flexible and important way to help animals. Through an online system, volunteers place phone calls to supporters and voters around the country to support our legislative priorities and ballot initiatives. Subject matter varies widely, including wildlife protection, animal cruelty legislation, farm animal protection, animals in research and companion animal issues. There are volunteer opportunities 7 days a week and time commitment is flexible. Phone calls are non-reimbursable. Note: this is an on call role and, while we can confirm hours for student service learning requirements, we cannot guarantee volunteers will be able to serve a certain number of hours in a particular timeframe.

Benefits of volunteering
