Right now, millions of stray dogs and cats in Myanmar are living on the streets without food, shelter, or medical care. Most are not sterilized, so their numbers keep growing. This is not just an animal welfare issue, it is a public health crisis. Rabies, spread mostly by dogs, kills both animals and children by the thousands in Myanmar every year. Let's Save The Strays International (LSTSI) is tackling this crisis head-on. Our Burmese veterinary teams provide free spay and neuter surgeries and rabies vaccinations, while also teaching schoolchildren how to live safely and kindly with animals. This is a true One Health mission, protecting both people and animals. We are a small, volunteer-led nonprofit here in the U.S., and every role on our team matters. We are looking for a Social Media Intern to help us tell these stories, share the impact of our work, and grow our Stray Guardians Circle, our community of regular donors who sustain this mission. This is a chance to be part of real change in a country in dire need, all from your own home.
Key Responsibilities
- •Create and post content for our social media platforms
- •Collect stories, photos, and updates from our veterinary teams in Myanmar
- •Support special projects like our Stray Guardians Circle campaign
- •Develop new ideas to connect with people who want to make a difference
Qualifications
- •Someone who loves animals and wants to use their voice for good
- •Strong writing and communication skills
- •Comfort with social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn)
- •Some experience with Canva or video editing tools is a bonus, but not required
What You'll Gain
- •Be part of an all-volunteer U.S. team that is passionate and hands-on
- •The time commitment is small, but the impact is huge
- •Your work will help fight rabies and save lives through a One Health approach in Myanmar
