Want a job where you can use your voice, meet new people, and do work that actually matters?

Public Outreach is growing our Northern Virginia fundraising team and looking for outgoing people who want meaningful work, reliable hourly pay, and skills they can take with them wherever they go.

You’ll represent nonprofit organizations working on important humanitarian, environmental, and social justice causes.

No fundraising experience is required.

If you’re comfortable talking with people, like being active, and want work with a purpose, we’ll teach you the rest.

This is face-to-face fundraising - not an office job.

You’ll work with a team in communities throughout Northern Virginia, speaking directly with members of the public about the nonprofit campaign you’re representing.

Your goal is to have meaningful conversations, explain why the work matters, and invite people to support the organization by becoming monthly donors.

A typical day can include:

Starting conversations with people you’ve never met

Learning about important nonprofit campaigns and causes

Sharing stories and explaining why the issue matters

Answering questions and building genuine connections

Asking people directly to become recurring donors

Working alongside a supportive fundraising team

Receiving regular coaching and feedback

Working toward clear individual and team goals

Fair warning - this is definitely not a desk job.

You’ll spend much of your shift walking, standing, working outdoors, and talking with people face-to-face.

Some people will be excited to speak with you.

Some won’t.

You’ll hear “no” regularly.

Strong fundraisers learn how to reset, adjust their approach, and keep going.

Our nonprofit campaigns can change over time, but the issues you may talk about can include:

Humanitarian aid

Child poverty and support for vulnerable communities

Disaster relief

Human and civil rights

Environmental issues

Education and opportunity

Other important nonprofit and advocacy work

You don’t need previous nonprofit or activism experience.

You do need to be comfortable learning about important issues, discussing them respectfully, and representing the campaign accurately.

Our Northern Virginia team currently works Tuesday through Saturday , with shifts generally running from 12:30 PM to 8:00 PM .

Full-time and part-time opportunities are available

Full-time is preferred for people interested in longer-term growth and leadership

Part-time team members must commit to at least 3 full 7.5-hour shifts per week

You can work 3-5 shifts depending on your availability

Shifts must be worked in full rather than as partial-day schedules

This can work well for students, recent graduates, creatives, hospitality workers, and others looking for consistent hours without committing to a traditional Monday-Friday desk schedule.
