Community Canvasser- Planned Parenthood Advocates of WI

Community Canvassers and Team Leaders
Hiring Immediately - $23-25/hr + bonuses
Full-time & Part-time

In Wisconsin, anti-abortion politicians have spent years trying to take our freedom away. They’ve passed laws that interfere in personal medical decisions, created barriers to ending a pregnancy, and pushed to give politicians more control over our lives. This November, we can choose a different future. By electing Planned Parenthood–endorsed candidates, we can protect abortion access and ensure that decisions about pregnancy remain with each of us — not politicians. 

We’ll be going door to door to talk with our community members and neighbors about what’s at stake for reproductive rights, who Planned Parenthood endorses on their ballots, and when and how to vote for them in the Midterm election. Increasing voter turn out is one of the key ways to elect reproductive health champions this November, and we need your help to win. Candidates we’ll be talking with voters about: David Crowley for Governor, Josh Kaul for Attorney General, and Rebecca Cooke for Congress in CD3.

This role is a great opportunity to gain experience in the following areas: Leadership, Communication & Advocacy, Community Outreach & Engagement, Campaign Work, Public Policy, and Social Enterprise.

Get paid well! Canvassing positions start at $23/hour. Team Lead positions start at $25/hour. We offer overtime pay, driver bonuses, shift bonuses, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals.
