Who We Are

Our People ARE the ASPCA. The People team (HR) at the ASPCA enables the organization to thrive by empowering and valuing every team member and providing an exceptional workplace across our varied disciplines. To make the greatest impact on animals, we must support the people who do the work, so our staff feel investment from the organization and can effectively prioritize and engage with our mission, work together, and develop necessary skills and capabilities, so we can successfully serve the ASPCAs guiding vision that the United States is a humane community in which all animals are treated with respect and kindness.

The ASPCAs Benefits team, part of our People team, works to ensure our people have thoughtfully designed employee benefit plans and time off policies, and skillfully administers requests for leaves of absence and workplace accommodations.
