at Djurens Rätt

🏢 About Djurens Rätt

Djurens Rätt is Sweden's largest animal rights organization, known for its direct-action campaigns and grassroots mobilization. Working here means joining a passionate movement that combines political advocacy with on-the-ground activism to create tangible change for animals. The organization values both strategic planning and hands-on engagement, making it ideal for someone who wants to see immediate impact from their work.

About This Role

As a Tour Coach at Djurens Rätt, you'll be the face of the organization on the road, managing mobile campaign stops across Sweden to recruit members and mobilize volunteers. This role combines logistics management with grassroots organizing, requiring you to inspire volunteers while handling all practical aspects of tour stops. Your work directly expands the organization's reach and builds the supporter base needed to advance animal rights campaigns.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day starts early with packing the van with campaign materials and equipment, then driving to that day's tour location. You'll set up the tour stop, brief and motivate volunteers, and spend the day coaching them in member recruitment and campaign discussions with the public. The day ends with packing up, submitting reports, and planning logistics for the next stop, often involving travel to a new location.
