If you are unable to complete this application due to a disability, contact this employer to ask for an accommodation or an alternative application process. $20/hr guaranteed + bonuses | 21-35 hours/week | North Hollywood / San Fernando Valley Care about human rights, humanitarian aid, or the issues shaping your community? Turn that interest into paid, resume-building experience. We're growing our North Hollywood fundraising team and looking for outgoing, socially aware people to represent leading international human rights and humanitarian organizations through face-to-face outreach across the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles. As a Face-to-Face Fundraiser / Canvasser, you'll speak with members of the public about urgent nonprofit campaigns, explain why the work matters, and invite people to support it by becoming recurring donors. Depending on the campaign you're assigned to, you could be raising awareness and support for work involving: Migrants' and refugees' rights Human rights protections and access to due process Emergency food, clean water, shelter, and medical assistance Communities affected by conflict, displacement, poverty, and natural disasters Long-term, locally led humanitarian and community development programs Campaign assignments may change based on the needs of our nonprofit partners. Most of our current openings are on our street fundraising team, where fundraisers work in busy public spaces and community locations. Depending on campaign needs, availability, and team fit, some new hires may instead join our door-to-door fundraising team, speaking with people in neighborhoods across Los Angeles. Both are real, hourly paid fundraising positions. This is not volunteer petitioning, commission-only work, or a desk job. If you're social, energetic, interested in the issues affecting your community, and looking for work where you can build valuable experience, you might be a great fit. Fair warning: you'll spend most of your shift outside, walking or standing, and starting conversations with people you've never met. Not everyone will stop, and not everyone will say yes. Fundraising is goal-oriented work, so you'll need to stay positive, learn from feedback, and keep going when a conversation does not work out. We provide paid training and ongoing coaching. What you bring is your energy, curiosity, resilience, and willingness to improve. What the Job Involves Represent an international nonprofit organization in public spaces or residential neighborhoods Learn about your nonprofit partner and the campaign you'll be fundraising for Start friendly, respectful conversations with members of the public Explain complex human rights and humanitarian issues in a clear, engaging way Connect campaign issues to the values and concerns of the person you're speaking with Invite people to support the organization through recurring donations Work alongside an energetic and supportive fundraising team Practice your approach, receive regular coaching, and work toward clear fundraising goals Help create a welcoming and respectful experience for everyone you meet Pay, Schedule and Benefits $20/hour guaranteed starting pay Hourly pay is guaranteed and is not based on commission Performance bonuses and incentives Paid training and ongoing coaching Approximately 21-35 hours per week Minimum commitment of 3 full shifts per week Shifts are approximately 7 hours Street fundraising shifts are generally scheduled around 10:00 AM-5:00 PM Door-to-door fundraising shifts are generally scheduled around 12:00 PM-7:00 PM Health, dental, and vision benefits for eligible full-time employees after 3 months Opportunities to develop into trainer, team leader, and management positions Street and door-to-door schedules differ. Your schedule, campaign assignment, and team placement will be discussed during the hiring process. What We're Looking For You do not need previous fundraising experience. You may be a great fit if you: Care about human rights, humanitarian aid, social justice, or community issues Enjoy meeting people and can build rapport quickly Communicate clearly, warmly, and confidently Are curious and willing to learn about complex campaigns Can stay motivated after hearing "no" Are comfortable working toward goals and receiving regular feedback Enjoy active work and being outside Can walk and stand for most of a 7-hour shift Can reliably commute to North Hollywood and rotating outreach locations Can commit to at least 3 full shifts each week Are at least 18 years old Are legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship Experience in hospitality, independent cafes or restaurants, customer service, retail, sales, theatre, public speaking, political organizing, volunteering, or community outreach is helpful, but not required.
