Rational Animal

Rational Animal uses media and special events to increase public awareness about NYC’s at-risk animals. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit working to improve the lives of homeless animals, working animals, and wildlife by using media to communicate the actions people can take to help animals and prevent harm to them.

We are looking for compassionate people with special skills in the areas of PR, radio, TV, film, music, advertising, and marketing. As a Rational Animal volunteer, you will work in teams to brainstorm about new and positive ways to get out messages about how people can get involved to help at-risk animals and animal shelters and animal welfare groups. In return, you will gain valuable experience working with the city's leading rescue organizations with our fun, diverse group of professionals. This is an opportunity for networking as well as meeting new people and enhancing your skills and experience.
In addition to contributing to an all volunteer organization, our volunteers have the distinct credit of helping make real and remarkable change.

Our volunteers are talented, dedicated media professionals, enthusiastic animal lovers, and dynamic people who want to make a difference for the animals in NYC and beyond. Rational Animal has developed a reputation around the city for its creative, engaging, and popular media events and educational initiatives. We work closely with the Mayor's Alliance for New York City animals as well as local animal-focused media, in addition to the contributions we make to local shelters. We also advocate for and on behalf of all working and wild animals in the city, including carriage horses, circus animals, and animal rescue.
