You can make a difference for animals and advocates by joining our team of volunteers and working with the Faunalytics staff on exciting projects. We have a vision of saving animal lives by providing strategic help to advocates, but we need volunteers like you to help make our work possible! You’ll get to work alongside our experienced and dedicated team from the comfort of your home.
Volunteer Roles
Please note: Currently, we are only looking for volunteers in the following specific roles. Unfortunately, we are not able to consider working with other volunteers or interns at this time due to our small staff and limited capacity.
The Faunalytics research library houses thousands of study summaries that are of interest to animal advocates working on a variety of issues. We always have a need for writers to help us stay up to speed on the newest studies that matter to advocates by reading academic studies and writing summaries for the animal advocacy community.
Required Skills:
- Experience reading academic journals
- Ability to translate scientific findings for a general audience
- Strong understanding of research methods and analysis
This role will be volunteering about 4-6 hours every 1-2 weeks
Faunalytics is fortunate to be a Google Ad Grants partner and we receive a substantial amount of free traffic from Google Ads campaigns each month. We would welcome volunteer support from Ads experts to help us identify new keywords, create new campaigns and ads, and generally optimize the account. We also welcome support from SEO experts to help us improve our site and generate more organic traffic.
Required Skills:
- 2+ years of experience using AdWords
- Experience carrying out SEO optimization
- Experience with other marketing tools a plus!
Help our research team with a vital project! You will be tasked with investigating sources of data (e.g., school districts, state metrics) that could be used for secondary research on the effectiveness of humane education programs. This may involve desk research as well as, if necessary, contacting individuals to identify whether private data could be requested for this purpose. The project runs from now until end of July.
Required Skills:
- Experience finding and using institutional or governmental data sources
- Understanding of quasi-experimental research
- Preferred, but not required: familiarity with humane education in the U.S. and/or the school systems
