Internship
 We are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for a new paid internship position funded
in part by the Make Yourself Foundation, a nonprofit organization conceived by the members of the rock
band Incubus who donate a portion of proceeds from tours, royalties and other activities.
This internship program is designed to train the next generation of animal advocates to effectively
analyze, develop and implement projects that benefit companion animals, the people who care about
them, and communities as a whole. The program will develop model programs based on the no-kill
philosophy that will save more animals in our community and nationwide.
Specifically, this internship position will be working closely with staff and other volunteers to develop
companion animal and feral cat spay/neuter programs with the goal of increasing affordable, accessible
options for the surgical sterilization of dogs and cats to reduce the number of unwanted litters.
Under the supervision of a mentor, the intern will develop leadership skills by being involved in program
development from start to finish, including researching the need/problem and conceptualizing possible
solutions, providing a critical analysis of the options, planning the logistical elements of the selected
program, considering the marketing and public relations aspects, integrating technology where
appropriate, and soliciting the volunteer support and funding necessary to implement the program. The
work the interns help to complete will be shared with others who may wish to use any of the information
as a model for their own communities.
The mission of The Center for Animal Rescue and Adoption is to save more animals through proactive,
progressive leadership and positive, organized collaboration. We are dedicated to rescue, foster care,
adoption, spay/neuter, feral cat trap-neuter-return (TNR), medical treatment, behavioral training, retention
and community involvement programs. We have been accepted as a member of the National Spay/Neuter
Response Team and are developing a high-quality, high-volume, low-cost stationary spay/neuter clinic
based on the Humane Alliance model.
The "Spay More Animals" Community Spay/Neuter Clinic will
serve the Tucson community and surrounding areas, with a focus on feral cat Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR)
programs, rescue and adoption groups and low-income families.
For more information about the clinic,

Internship candidates must have excellent organizational, communications and teamwork skills,
dependability and dedication. Intern stipend offered. College credit may be available.
