Job details

The Humane Choices Foundation was built by people who believe that the next generation of educators, thinkers, and changemakers is already out there. They are sitting in lecture halls in Toronto and Tokyo, in residence halls in London and Lagos, scrolling through feeds full of noise, and quietly asking the same question Why does the world work this way, and what can I actually do about it? We show up to answer that question. Starting on campuses, growing into a global movement, we work with students everywhere to explore the connection between animal welfare, climate resilience, food systems, public health, and food insecurity. Not as separate problems. As one. Because the students asking these questions already sense that everything is connected. We just help them see how. We started in Canada, but the crisis we are responding to has no borders, and neither does our work. Every campus is a community. Every community is a place where ideas take root, where values get shaped, and where the next wave of change begins. That is where we have always wanted to be, and that is where we are going. , THE HUMANE CHOICES FOUNDATION Digital Student Ambassador — Volunteer Position Part-Time | Remote | Canada | Volunteer — Unpaid humanechoice.ca | Toronto, Ontario About The Humane Choices Foundation The Humane Choices Foundation is a 100% volunteer-driven Canadian nonprofit based in Toronto, Ontario.
