What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Outreach Representative position at Great Lakes Wisconsin?
Community Outreach Representative
Full-Time
Full-Time
GLO Wisconsin partners directly with nonprofits across the Wisconsin community, representing their causes face-to-face and helping them raise the support needed to do their work. We take real pride in that partnership — and in the team we're building to carry it forward.
This is a customer-facing, in-person fundraising role. Let's be upfront: it's a sales role at its core, built around asking people to support a cause — and we'd rather you know that now than find out in the interview.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage face-to-face with community members, representing our nonprofit partner
- Clearly and honestly communicate the cause and the impact of donations
- Meet individual fundraising goals through genuine, persuasive conversation
- Maintain up-to-date knowledge of the partner nonprofit's mission and programs
- Represent the GLO Wisconsin brand with integrity in every interaction
Working Environment
- Community-based, face-to-face fundraising
- Fast-paced, people-first setting
- Team-oriented culture with Friday team meetings
- Proactive role — initiating conversations with community members
What We're Looking For
- No experience required — full training provided
- Comfortable approaching and speaking with strangers face-to-face
- Strong verbal communication skills
- Positive, resilient attitude — comfortable with a commission-based role
- Team-oriented, with genuine interest in supporting nonprofit work
Compensation & Benefits
- Week 1: paid training at $15/hour
- After week 1: uncapped earnings
- Most representatives earn $40,000 annually — uncapped earning potential
- Room to grow: Senior Representative, then Leader roles supporting and coaching others, up through Assistant Manager and Manager (leadership adds a 6th day, only once you choose to step into it)
- In-house training in digital marketing, audience and geographic research, public speaking, emotional intelligence, and branding — unlocked once you've mastered the face-to-face fundraising side of the role
