It is truly a team effort of love and lifesaving.
Job Description
The Pixel Fund is currently looking for a forward-thinking, animal-loving student who would be interested in working with our non-profit and a team of 100 volunteers. This is a perfect opportunity for any student needing volunteer hours for scholarships as well!
This internship will teach direct responsibilities in working with a non-profit. Ideal candidates would be interested in running a business or non-profit, human services, volunteering, animal rescue, public relations or marketing. We'd love a student who can bring new and fresh ideas to marketing the organization and our animals, create new fundraising events and work with our fosters to increase community support!
Primary duties will include:
- Retrieving animal veterinarian records
- Scanning and inputting vet records in to each animal's profile
- Participating in adoption events when able
