“The course opened my eyes up to how you can view animal advocacy as a career and not just volunteering or something you care about. I didn’t realise that a career in animal advocacy could be so well thought out and that this could increase your impact so much!”
Charlie Wilson
“I learned much more than expected about the movement, with regards to the scale of the problem, donations, and campaign effectiveness. But I also got a lot from the career strategy; it helped me to realise that I don’t have to quit my job and work in a sanctuary!”
Babs Imrie
“This course is a great starting point to anyone interested in getting more involved in animal advocacy. You are sure to learn something new, connect with some amazing like-minded people, and find direction and confidence to grow in your animal advocacy journey.”
