Animal Welfare Advocate - $20/hr Guaranteed + Bonuses

$20/hr guaranteed + daily bonus opportunities | 21-35 hours/week | Los Angeles | Paid training

Love animals? Put that passion to work.

We're growing our fundraising team and looking for outgoing, motivated people who care about animals and want their work to have an impact.

You'll work face-to-face with the public, starting conversations about animal welfare and inspiring people to become monthly donors supporting important nonprofit work.

No fundraising experience is required.

We'll teach you how to fundraise. You bring the personality, resilience, curiosity, and willingness to learn.

What You'll Actually Do

This is an active, people-facing job.

You'll spend your shifts working with a fundraising partner or team throughout Los Angeles. You'll approach members of the public, start conversations, explain the campaign you're representing, answer questions, and ask people to become monthly supporters.

You'll learn how to:

Start conversations confidently with strangers

Talk about animal welfare in an engaging and respectful way

Tell compelling stories

Ask directly for support

Handle questions and objections

Work toward clear fundraising goals

Apply coaching and improve your approach

Fair warning: this isn't a desk job.

You'll spend much of your shift outdoors, walking, standing, and talking with people.

Some conversations will be great. Some people won't be interested. You'll hear "no."

The people who do well here learn to reset quickly, stay positive, and keep going.

$20/hr Guaranteed - This Isn't Commission-Only Work

Your $20/hour starting wage is guaranteed.

You'll also have opportunities to earn daily performance bonuses on top of your hourly wage.

We provide paid training, regular coaching, and support from experienced team leaders. Fundraising is goal-oriented work, so you'll also be expected to apply feedback, remain reliable, and work toward clear performance goals.

If you like challenging yourself, getting better at something, and seeing your results improve, you may really enjoy fundraising.

Turn Your Passion for Animals Into Action

The nonprofit campaigns our teams represent work on important animal welfare issues.

Depending on the campaign and current priorities, that can include work connected to:

Preventing animal cruelty and suffering

Protecting companion animals

Helping animals affected by disasters

Improving conditions for farmed animals

Protecting wildlife and habitats

Ending harmful practices involving animals

Public education and advocacy

Creating long-term change for animals

You don't need to already be an animal welfare expert.

You do need to care, be willing to learn, and feel comfortable discussing these issues with people from many different backgrounds.

$20/hour guaranteed starting wage

Daily performance bonus opportunities

Regular pay reviews

Paid training from day one

Approximately 21-35 hours per week

Full-time and part-time opportunities

Health, dental, and vision benefits for eligible full-time employees and their families after 3 months

Paid time off

Employee Assistance Program

Opportunities to advance into training and leadership

Schedule

Team members must be able to commit to at least 3 complete 7-hour shifts per week (21 hours minimum).

Current shifts generally include:

10:00 AM-5:00 PM

12:00 PM-7:00 PM

Our teams work at changing outreach locations throughout Los Angeles. You'll need to reliably get to your team's meeting point and be comfortable travelling with your team to different fundraising locations.

You Might Be Great at This If...

You're someone who:

Genuinely cares about animals

Likes meeting and talking with new people

Communicates confidently

Is comfortable starting conversations with strangers

Likes goals and seeing yourself improve

Is reliable and open to feedback

Would rather be active than sit behind a desk all day

Experience in animal welfare, shelters or rescues, advocacy, hospitality, retail, customer service, theatre or performance, sales, fundraising, community organizing, education, or other public-facing work can translate really well.

But experience isn't required.

Come As You Are

We want people to feel comfortable being themselves at work.

Our teams include members of the LGBTQ+ community, and queer and trans applicants are welcome here. We encourage applications from people with different identities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

Discrimination, harassment, homophobia, transphobia, racism, and other forms of disrespect have no place on our teams.

Before You Apply

Be 18+

Be legally authorized to work in the US without employer sponsorship

Be able to work at least 3 complete 7-hour shifts each week

Be comfortable working outdoors, walking, and standing

Be comfortable approaching and speaking with members of the public

Be able to reliably travel to team meeting points and fundraising locations throughout Los Angeles
