PETA’s campaigns team is at the core of the organisation – it’s a busy group of advocates pushing for an end to animal suffering with eye-catching, bold campaigns calling on the government, the corporate world, and the public to take action for animals. Our priorities include campaigning against the use of animals for experimentation, food, fashion, and entertainment.
As our campaigns intern, you’ll have the opportunity to assist these efforts on the ground as well as in the planning phase. If you share PETA’s values and want to gain experience in a fast-paced campaigning environment, we can’t wait to hear from you. We’re looking for someone who can commit to three or four days a week (days to be agreed in advance) for a period of six months.
