As a Canvasser, you will be working to canvass on the street and fundraise on behalf of our amazing non-profit partner, Amnesty International of the USA. We work together to fight for human rights, stand up to the gun lobby, and stop public health crises caused by the erosion of women’s reproductive rights and the crisis at the border. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys sales, customer service, and engaging people in conversations on important issues. This is a great position for those who are looking for a less traditional work environment, not sitting in a cubicle, but working on their feet, using their voices, and taking action in the community.

- Working in the community as a canvasser and engaging people in conversation

You do not need experience in canvassing or fundraising. You will be walking through communities and neighborhoods every day talking to people and engaging them on serious issues and inspiring them to become part of the movement. You must be comfortable fundraising door-to-door in neighborhoods, going up and down hills and stairs multiple times a day in all types of weather year round. You will be raising money, support, and memberships for some of the best nonprofit groups in the world today.
We are actively seeking people who understand the value and meaning of grassroots activism and fundraising, and are willing to work on the ground level and develop their career here. Please do not apply if you have not fully read the job description and do not think you’d be a great fit.
