This ain’t your grandpop’s local pound! With the field of animal welfare evolving, professionalizing, and ever coming up against the persistently “wicked” problems that extend well-beyond our discipline (think: poverty, homelessness, and economic instability in general), organizations and their leadership are being increasingly called on to innovate and to deepen the impact of their services. Lucky for us, our field is neither the first nor the only to tackle the intersections between the work we set out to do and the broader social context in which our organizations exist. And that means there’s plenty to learn from those who’ve come before.

In this webinar – meant for shelter executives, senior staff, and those responsible for program development – we’ll cover the basics of social change, how it differs from much of what we’ve always done (social good), how it applies to animal welfare, and what we can learn from other movements that have bridged the gaps and made change happen.
