Summer Jobs for Environmental Campaigns

We’re hiring Canvass Office Directors to work on some of the most important problems of our time – tackling climate change; ensuring we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink; and breaking America’s addiction to single-use, throwaway plastics that pollute our oceans and threaten our health. We are hiring for immediate positions as well as positions starting in the summer.

As a Canvass Office Director, you and the canvass staff you hire and train will knock on doors and have face-to-face conversations. We build the people power it takes to overcome powerful opposition standing in the way of solutions – you’ll fundraise, mobilize people to get involved, and support some of the country’s leading non-profit groups, including Environment America and PIRG. Being a Canvass Director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet your office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals. 

We are looking for candidates who have leadership experience, excellent communication skills, and who want to work hard to make lasting, positive change on important issues.

We have an excellent training program, which starts with working in an existing canvass office and getting hands-on training. Directors may also receive classroom-style training on social change concepts and skills.

Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills.

We work on campaigns and in locations that we think will make the biggest difference. We are running campaigns in CA, CO, IL, MA, NJ, OR, and Washington, D.C.

The target annual compensation for this position is $35,750 or $46,050, depending on location. The Fund offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement. Our benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and dependents, our commuter benefit program, 401(k) with employer match, paid time off and long-term disability insurance. Compensation and benefits may vary based on location and experience. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
