Do you have a vision for expanding humane education opportunities into new communities? Are your teaching skills beyond ordinary? We are seeking a Humane Education Manager who will be responsible for providing leadership, implementation, and management of the SF SPCA’s humane education department. Our youth programs include: summer and school-break camps, after-school programs, junior volunteer programs, benefit birthday parties, puppy movie nights, school visits, tours, education resources, and special events.

Our humane education programs annually touch the lives of over 3,000 children, extend over 6,000 ft of dedicated space on campus, have 3 full-time staff and 8 seasonal staff, and generate over $250k in program revenue to fully cover expenses.
