Care about human rights, humanitarian aid, fighting poverty, or helping children and families affected by conflict and disaster?

Turn that passion into work you can actually do every day.

Public Outreach is hiring outgoing, passionate people to join our Boston-area fundraising team.

You'll represent leading nonprofit organizations working on issues like humanitarian relief, children's rights, poverty and inequality, civil liberties, and support for communities facing crisis.

No fundraising experience is required. We'll train you.

This is face-to-face fundraising.

You'll work with a team in public spaces throughout the Boston area, starting conversations about important causes and inspiring people to become monthly donors.

You'll:

Talk with people about humanitarian and human-rights issues

Share stories about people and communities affected by conflict, disaster, poverty, and inequality

Explain how nonprofit organizations are responding

Turn complicated issues into clear, human conversations

Ask people directly to become monthly donors

Work toward individual and team fundraising goals

Receive regular coaching and support from experienced leaders

This isn't petitioning or volunteer work.

You’ll be asking members of the public to financially support nonprofit organizations through monthly donations.

Depending on your campaign, your conversations may involve:

Children and families affected by war and displacement

Humanitarian emergencies and disaster relief

Hunger and global poverty

Refugees and displaced communities

Inequality and economic justice

Human and civil rights

LGBTQ+ rights

Reproductive freedom

Protecting people's rights, safety, and dignity

Campaign assignments can change, but the purpose remains similar - helping nonprofit organizations build the public support they need to continue their work.

You don't need a nonprofit background.

You don't need to know everything about international affairs or public policy.

We'll train you on the campaign you're representing and teach you how to fundraise.

You'll approach people you don't know, start conversations, and eventually ask them to become donors.

Some people will stop.

Some won't.

You’ll hear "no" regularly.

You’ll need to reset, stay positive, and confidently start the next conversation.

We'll provide paid training, regular coaching, and support from your team.

Your hourly wage is guaranteed. Your results still matter.

Performance-based bonuses on top of your hourly wage
