My immediate hesitation is whether fresh college graduates would be useful enough to hosting organizations to make this program sustainable.
Last I checked, Peace Corps invests 3 months of formal training into each applicant and requires a minimum 2-year commitment in a role (to allow people to grow into competency). But this version of Animal Advocacy Corps has college undergraduates rotate thru multiple organizations for much shorter periods without any training. And I’m not sure how much demand there is for that kind of worker in animal advocacy even if it’s provided for free.
