Program areas at CreatureKind

Education & outreach through our training/education, and outreach program, Creaturekind helps christians understand faith-based reasons for caring about the wellbeing of farmed animals, and equips them to take practical action in response, with goals that include changing individual and institutional food practices, reducing or eliminating consumption of animal products, and making farmed animal welfare an ecclesial priority across the spectrum of christianity.
Creaturekind fellows the Creaturekind fellows program helps christian students develop leadership skills, deepen their theology of animals, and connect them with like-minded young leaders and mentors. Each fellow completes a project that furthers the mission of Creaturekind in their own context: a local faith community or educational institution.
Denominational cefaw-us is a partnership between Creaturekind and three other organizations. Through our work, we advance the cause of farmed animal welfare at the denominational level in the us and encourage us churches to add farmed animal welfare to their faith concerns.
Defaultveg Creaturekind's defaultveg program provides a simple, affordable, and inclusive way to help christians and christian communities reduce their environmental footprint, care for the welfare of farmed animals, support small farmers, and demonstrate our stewardship of creation in the meals we share. -every year we host a webinar explaining the tenets of our main food policy campaign to incorporate plant-based foods within christian communities, defaultveg. In 2021, the defaultveg webinar, in partnership with the better food foundation, was attended by Creaturekind members in north america, south america, africa, and europe. We also continue to educate christians about making plant-based the default in their own communities through regular social media recipe content, blogs for seasonal eating, as well as content that explores the deeper strategy of the campaign work and connects plant-based eating and animal liberation with more established christian justice frameworks (i.e. Defaultveg: de-centering whiteness and working for the liberation of all).
