You can still use your career to help animals even if you don't work in charities – key insights from Animal Advocacy Careers

These are my favorite picks from the original article by Animal Advocacy Careers.

Many of us think of charities when we consider helping animals, but the article we read today suggests that advocacy is not limited to charities alone.

Advocacy can extend beyond the NGO space, and individuals can make significant differences for animals by using their careers in other fields. Some of these roles can even be more impactful than working in charities and can open up more career options. Some of the roles include:

Doing the same things – only outside of charities – like academia, government roles, and media to promote the inclusion of plant-based alternatives.

Companies that aim to replace animal products or improve animal welfare – for-profit organizations – can make an impact by outperforming animal products in quality, affordability, and convenience.

Earning and giving more – balance your goals and values without making a huge shift in your career.

Adjacent roles as a way to build career capital for future roles – allow you to build career capital that may be useful if you decide to continue your career in advocacy organizations.
