Mission Statement
America for Animals is making a better world for animals by empowering people to promote compassion and fight cruelty in the communities where they live.
Description
America for Animals is a start-up nonprofit organization. We build state of the art web and mobile apps that empower advocates to help animals. These tools harness the power of the crowd while making it easy for anyone who cares about animals to connect, organize, and make a difference in the lives of those who need our help.
We are headquartered in San Diego, California, but work with volunteers across the globe.

It's a very noble cause and a great way to further it. Fun people to work with. The volunteers from within as well as across teams always try to bring the best out of everyone. I love the way I get to use my professional skills to help further a cause I so deeply support. I have been associated with AFA for more than eight months now and its been a wonderful experience so far.

AFA is a rare place for higher-caliber, "intellectual" volunteering. Unlike at most animal welfare org's which only offer low-skill type volunteering, AFA is all volunteer based which means managerial and professional openings are available. I volunteer as a Chief Operating Officer for example, and get to work on lots of cool strategic projects. AFA has a great team too!

I adore this organization. They have so many opportunities for individuals to help and make a difference. They are willing to take a chance on people as long as they have a passion for the cause. They are also willing to learn a person's strengths and capitalize on them. In short, they have amazing people who are fun to work with and many virtual opportunities.

I've had a similar experience as some others regarding the mobile app opportunity. I've been a professional Android engineer for over eight years, with several apps published in the store. A day after applying I received a form email letting me know they could not find a "suitable role" with the team. Either they are grossly incompetent or are not currently looking for a mobile developer and should take down or change the ad to reflect that.

I too had a similar experience as Elizabeth B and Anne M. I expressed interest, received an initial email, and then dead silence. My family is already heavily involved in Animal rights, and I saw this as a perfect way to use my professional skills to help. Not only is the posting still up, it is listed 4 times.
Also, they clearly need help. On this page (where you write reviews) they copied and pasted their Mission Statement and Description with the HTML paragraph tags.

I had similar experience as Anne M. They are horrible with communication. I had phone interview scheduled twice for certain day and time. The first time the person forgot and the second time I heard nothing. When I emailed them about it, they told me they didn't need anyone anymore for that posted listing. However, the posting is still up. I really wanted to use my knowledge of websites for good and I love animals, but unfortunately, the run around they gave me is why I gave them 1 star and why I will gladly help someone else interested.

Great cause but unfortunately, I am going to update this review.
I had a bad experience with this organization. I send an e-mail, they reply and offer me an interview. 1 month after, no call. I send 4 e-mails, no response. I send a negative review on Volunteermatch and suddenly, they send a message to try to figure it out! After several messages with a RH volunteer interested in my application, I re-sent a cover letter and a resume and they answer me (in the Sunday evening and no closing formula) that they are not interested in my application anymore and I don't fit for the position!
This organization has good ideas but wants to empower people throughout new technologies and unfortunately, they have real communication issues...So great cause but so disappointing!

I am an avid animal lover and think that animals should be protected all over the world.

AFA consists of passionate, capable, and dedicated people who are trying to make the world a better place for animals.
