Apply today! Start soon!

Searching for outgoing people who are comfortable in social situations. Backgrounds in theater, comedy, or sales are a plus!

Are you ready to come off the sidelines and get in the field during one of most transformational times in history? Are you looking for a meaningful fundraising advocacy role to defend human rights, stop the gun violence crisis, and fight for reproductive rights? Do you enjoy working in the community and engaging people in conversations on important issues? This is your moment.

Grassroots Team is seeking a motivated and outgoing individual to join our team as a Canvasser. 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.
