As a Canvasser, you will be working to canvass door to door and on the street and fundraise on behalf of our amazing non-profit partner, Greenpeace USA.

You do not need experience in canvassing or fundraising.

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, and in public areas. 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. Must meet the job requirement of being 18 years of age or older. Please do not apply if you have not fully read the job description and do not think you'd be a great fit.
