Volunteer Profiles

Amy B

I have worked with a great group of other volunteers to plan the 3rd annual CAA Banquet. I also do the accounting work and send out thank-you letters to our donors.

Ben A

I went vegan after learning about animal cruelty. Then when I read A Meaningful Life by Matt Ball I decided that I needed to become deeply involved in working against animal cruelty.

Britta A

I am only recently a member of the vegetarian community so when I heard CAA was offering internships for the summer I thought it might be a good way to get involved and learn more about issues I care about.

Ivan M

I helped set-up the 2007 Veg Valentines potluck as well as leaflet, pamphlet, and organize events such as the Dr. Greger "Avian Flu and the Plight of Poultry" event.

Jacqui W

Cage-free eggs at the University of Minnesota, public access campaign, leafleting, sticker contest, help out at food giveaways, participate in random events.

Justin L

I got involved with CAA out of my passion for animal rights. After seeing images of factory farming, I knew that I needed to do something positive with the strong emotions that I was feeling.

Kathryn Q.

It motivated me to get involved again in animal rights.

Lauren H.

I was already a vegetarian and was concerned about animals, plus I wanted to volunteer in the community.

Paige V

I want to respect myself and others whether it be humans or animals.

Suzanne S

I like the notion of taking action to raise awareness and there are a variety of outlets for this through CAA. If everyone knew what we know, the world would be a different place.
