Do you want to have a summer full of adventure, working with awesome people, all while making the world a better place?
Join the MPA door-to-door canvass team!
WHAT IS MPA, you ask?
Maine People’s Alliance (MPA) is a grassroots organization whose mission is to create a world where everyone has what they need, contributes what they can, and no one is left behind. By forming a community with people from all walks of life, we build power, inspire new leaders, heal divisions—particularly across lines of race—and win campaigns that change what is politically possible.
Why is door-to-door canvassing so important?
Field Organizers canvass, develop, and engage people where they are: at their door, in their community. They are often the first touch people have with our organization. The Field Team's operations motivate and empower new and current members to become more involved in creating political change in our communities together.
Why is it the best summer job?
MPA prioritizes developing leaders. The field canvassers are looking for leaders in the community and we are looking for leaders on the staff team! It is totally possible (and we love it when) you start as a canvasser and end the summer as a trainer or even team lead!
We take pictures of lawn gnomes. We have to clean the door dust off our knuckles after a rewarding day of hard work. We talk to people all day about talking to people all day. We are driven/drive people all over Maine and see the sunset on towns people vacation in. We learn the names of flowers, which grow in rare suburban habitats. We meet hundreds of dogs and cats. We are out and about exploring the world and gathering stories.
