Frequently Asked Questions
At THL, we deeply value our employees and are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels empowered to thrive in their roles and teams. We set ambitious goals with the greatest strategic impact for animals, channeling our energy, resources, and talent toward actions that will reduce, and ultimately end, the abuse of animals for food. We remain laser-focused on our mission, working collaboratively with colleagues and coalition partners to drive meaningful change. While we don’t expect perfection, we also don’t settle for ‘good enough.’ We embrace change, continuously seek opportunities to innovate, and take calculated risks that deliver impactful results for animals.
The Humane League is an animal protection organization whose mission is to end the abuse of animals used for food. We hold companies accountable and work to eliminate the worst abuses in their supply chains. We know big social change is a journey of small yet meaningful incremental steps. That’s why we influence and campaign for this change little by little, company by company, so that we can build a world where animals are no longer raised and abused for food.
At The Humane League, you’ll be joining a team of relentless changemakers who are sparing millions of animals from the worst forms of suffering right now, while also weakening animal-abusing industries in the long run. At THL, you'll support heavy-hitting corporate campaigns and policy changes that are transforming our food system at an institutional level. We're raising the bar for how animals are treated on factory farms—until, one day, we end the abuse of all animals raised for food.
The Humane League is committed to working with and providing reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities. We trust individuals to self-identify and ask for the accommodations they need. An example of an accommodation might be extra time to complete a work simulation exercise, among many others. If you need reasonable accommodations for a disability or learning difference during any part of the employment process, please email [email protected] to make us aware of your request and provide your contact information.
All new employees attend a Welcome Orientation on their first day with THL where they learn more about our benefits and PTO policies, gain familiarity with our tech platforms, and receive an introductory project that takes them through their first 90 days with THL. Throughout those 90 days, all new hires attend interdepartmental orientations where they learn the history of THL, our campaign strategies, our core values and culture initiatives, the impact of our global teams, and more! Additionally, every new hire is matched with a veteran colleague from a different department through our buddy program, and new staff receive tailored personalized training to help them gain confidence and knowledge in their roles.
We want all THL employees to grow toward their full potential and are excited to offer all full-time employees an annual $500 stipend for professional development opportunities. This can look like completing online trainings such as the ones linked here, attending a professional development conference, and more. In addition, managers are encouraged to discuss relevant training opportunities and career progression with their direct reports, and employees can schedule one-on-one meetings with our Training Specialist.
Our commitment to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion
At The Humane League, we believe that everyone should be able to come to work as their true self and experience trust, respect, and a deep sense of belonging. Our efforts focus on empowering our team members to create the changes they want to see—because our culture is something we collectively shape. And the more fully we uplift each other, the more effectively we show up for the animals.
