Description
The US government has a huge impact on the lives of farmed animals, but there are currently less than 10 animal-motivated staffers working within government agencies or Congressional offices. We think changing this could be very high impact. We want to find talented university students/recent graduates who care about animals and we'll offer:
  • An introductory call to answer your questions, learn about your interests, and provide career coaching and resume support. (This will be with our team member Spencer Orenstein, who spent 5 years as a Congressional staffer.)
  • Specific tips on how to best find and apply for policy staffer roles
  • Advice from our bi-partisan network of former Hill staffers
  • Resources to skill up in policy analysis, legislative drafting, and advocacy strategies
  • Networking opportunities with key stakeholders in the policy world
