Canvass Director

Canvass Director We’re hiring and training Canvass Directors to make an impact on some of the most important problems of our time – protecting wildlife and wild places, eliminating plastic waste that is polluting our oceans, ensuring we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and more. We believe that having solutions to these problems often isn’t enough to solve them. To win positive change, we need to educate, engage and mobilize people across the country. Directors and their staff work to build public support through one‑on‑one, face‑to‑face conversations on America’s front doorsteps, generating the kind of support that lasts longer than a news cycle and goes deeper than an online petition. Responsibilities Educate and engage the public on campaigns like protecting wildlife and the outdoors, moving beyond single‑use plastics, and stopping electronic waste Build support and fundraise for leading non‑profit groups working on these issues, including Environment America and PIRG Hire, train and manage your own team Work at the most effective citizen outreach operation in the country.

Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills. Locations We work on campaigns and in locations that we think will make the biggest difference.
