Leading the Next Generation of Animal Welfare Supporters.
Anti-Cruelty is establishing a Young Associate group of dynamic young professionals who are passionate about supporting tens of thousands of animals in need. Through fundraising, planning events, networking, programming, volunteer opportunities, and service, these Young Associates will be the next generation of Anti Cruelty’s philanthropic and volunteer leaders in the animal welfare sector.
