What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Canvasser - Help Shape a Safer City position at The Outreach Team?
Hiring Immediately - $27-28/hr up to $150 per day in bonuses
Full-time & Part-time
We are hiring petitioners to gather signatures for two key ballot initiatives. The first will hold large corporations accountable and invest more money back into our communities, rather than padding the pockets of the rich. Secondly, we are building support for an initiative that will expand the LA Fire Department, adding desperately-needed resources to meet the city’s demand and keep our communities safe. As a petitioner, you’ll help win practical solutions that protect families, improve emergency response times, and invest in the community. This is a chance for Angelenos to step up for each other and help shape a safer & better city.
Petitioners will canvass in busy public areas and engage voters in one-on-one conversations to gather signatures for these ballot initiatives. This job is all about connecting with people face-to-face, having meaningful conversations, and inspiring them to take action on important issues. We spend our days outdoors, in public spaces, to engage with community members.
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! Base pay is $27/hour. Leadership positions start at $28/hour. We offer overtime pay, daily performance bonuses ranging from $20-$150/day, and bonuses for friend referrals. If you are a fluent bilingual speaker, you may earn an additional $2 per hour.
