Fund for the Public Interest

We’re hiring and training Canvass Directors to make an impact on some of the most important problems of our time – such as protecting wildlife and wild places, eliminating plastic waste that is polluting our oceans, ensuring clean air and water, and more. We believe that achieving positive change requires educating, engaging, and mobilizing people across the country. Directors and their staff build public support through one‑on‑one, face‑to‑face conversations on America’s front doorsteps, generating a lasting support that goes deeper than an online petition. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions of significance. We have immediate positions available as well as positions starting throughout the year.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates who have leadership experience, excellent communication skills, and who want to work hard to make lasting, positive change on important issues. Being a Canvass Director requires working independently, exercising good judgment, and meeting staffing, campaign, and fieldwork goals.

Training

We have an excellent training program that starts with hands‑on training in an existing canvass office and classroom‑style training on social change concepts and skills. Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may participate in advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills.

Locations

We work on campaigns where the impact is greatest. Directors may work almost anywhere in the country and must be geographically flexible. Current campaigns are in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and California.
