Full-time & Part-time
Across the country our political system is worse than ever; and Massachusetts is no longer the exception, having the least competitive elections and the least transparent legislature in the country. We are working to qualify two initiatives, one would make the government more transparent, the other would make MA an all party primary state.
Petitioners will engage voters in one-on-one conversations, in order to gather signatures for these initiatives. We spend our days outdoors, in public spaces to engage with community members. Canvassing is all about connecting with people, having meaningful conversations, and inspiring voters to take action.
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! Petition Circulator positions start at $20/hour. Leadership positions start at $22/hour. We offer overtime pay, shift bonuses, paid training, sick pay, and performance bonuses up to an additional $170 per day.
