The Leaping Bunny program has a sample letter you can send to companies that test on animals to urge them to stop. Try putting together a letter writing campaign with your friends and family. Send these letters to companies you know test on animals. The more letters the companies receive, the more likely they might be to heed the information. The Humane Society of the United States has an ongoing petition and pledge on their website for those interested in supporting the cause of going cruelty-free. Other organizations such as PETA also have different petitions circulating at any given time to aid animals being subjected to cruelty for testing purposes. Consider even writing or starting your own petition. There are many online outlets such as Change.org that offer a platform for creating and sharing web-based petitions with a wide audience. Create your own and share it on your social media accounts. If you are a student, there may be an animal rights group at your school that you can join. Or, anyone could find a group online to join, such as PETA. If there are no groups in your area, consider starting one yourself. Come up with a plan of action for your group, from letter writing campaigns to peaceful protests outside of companies that test on animals. Your group could also raise money for existing animal rights organizations, or volunteer at no-kill animal shelters nearby. Check the Humane Society's website for volunteer opportunities in your area at shelters, or in areas experiencing a crisis. Or, head to your local no-kill animal shelter and sign up to volunteer once or twice a week caring for the animals. If you don't have much time, you can simply donate funds to these organizations. Local animal shelters may also have a wishlist on their website for items they need at the shelter. If there isn't a list online, give them a call and ask what they're in need of. You can probably find most of it at your local big box store for cheap. The Humane Society has a fund set up to assist animals in animal testing labs. Through their website, you can donate $25USD and help these animals, as well as receive a membership to the Humane Society. Use your social media platforms to raise awareness of the issue of animal testing by posting information and links to credible websites. Help your friends and family find cruelty-free products and educate them on the issue. Hand out flyers or pamphlets with information on animal testing at your school, work, or in your neighborhood.

There are great ways to use your talents that are unexpected, especially in terms of jobs that might come about because of your talents. This could be a job that you found, or a job you created based on what you saw was needed. For example, just because you're a trained singer, doesn't mean that you need to go into professional opera singing. You could use your musical abilities to start a singing camp for kids, or to help ease the seriously ill. Look around to see what's needed in terms of your talents. If you identify a missing need you could start up your own job. For example: if your talent is getting to know people, you could start up a business dedicating to connecting people with one another in your community. You don't necessarily have to have a job that is all about your talent. There's no reason for you not to try to incorporate it into your job, however. In fact, using your talent at work is a great way to increase your enthusiasm for your job. For example, if you love do artwork and you work at a coffee shop, consider decorating the specials blackboard, or turning your passion for art into learning latte art. Stop and consider how your talent might benefit your workplace. What is it you have to offer that might provide a creative or unusual solution to a problem? If you can't think of a way to apply your talents to your job (and there's usually at least one way), find avenues to pursue it on your own time. There are lots of ways that you can enjoy your talent and have other people enjoy your talent, as well. Consider creating a video or blogging series about your talent. For example, you might use your language skills to help others learn Arabic. Find other people who are talented in the same manner and work with them, either online or in person. This is another great way to stay humble about your skills, but it can also be fun. These people will share your passions and help speed you along to better work. Turn that talent into a way to build community and to help other people. Think about all the people who have helped you on your road to success and try to do the same for others. Tutor low-income kids in your community in math skills, if math is your specialty. Participate in or create a local theater camp if acting is your talent. Offer to teach families in your city about gardening, or about fixing things, and so on and so on. You can find a million ways to give back. Be a mentor to someone in your field. If you've already gotten that professorship, for example, offer to mentor an up-and-coming graduate student in your field and help them identify their talents!
