Work to help animals as a WSPA intern!

This weekend, some of our Sydney-based volunteer Captains got together in the WSPA office to lend their time to helping wrap up our Move Forward initiative by assisting with the glamourous task of data entry.

It was a huge help to the office, and we'd like to extend a big THANK YOU to Nami, Matthew, Rosalba, Sy, Alen, Michelle, Stefan, and Jim!


We'll have lots of opportunities in the coming year for supporters to get involved, making a difference. Currently we're recruiting for a volunteer internship position. Here's more information:


Position Description:

The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) is recruiting at part-time intern to work in our Sydney office. We’re looking for someone who can work at least 20 hours/week but are flexible with timing.

Intern will assist with our Humane Chain campaign and the implementation of an exciting new supporter-driven project focusing on raising public awareness. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent grad, someone looking to move into the nonprofit sector or a more seasoned pro, simply wanting to work on a meaningful cause.

Specific duties to include:
• Volunteer management including maintaining a schedule of volunteer activities
• Seeking out opportunities to raise public awareness such as events and festivals, as well as social media
• Assist with the creation of promotional materials
• Assisting with mailings, data entry and other administrative tasks as necessary
Skills required:
• Excellent people skills – experience managing people or working with volunteers is very helpful
• Highly organised, able to manage time efficiently and work well, both independently and as part of a team.
• A passion for animal welfare
• An interest and experience in social media is helpful
• Also helpful but not necessary is experience in Photoshop/graphic design

Although this is an unpaid internship there are lots of opportunities to learn more about campaigning, political lobbying, and animal welfare generally, depending on your areas of interest.

To Apply:
Please send a CV and cover letter to sharonbaldwin@wspa.org.au by 30 January. This is an unpaid position to commence ASAP and run through May.
