Entry-Level Nonprofit Outreach Representative

Boulder, CO, US

$20/hour guaranteed + bonuses | Paid training | 21-35 hours/week | Boulder, CO

Some people are great behind a screen. Others are best when they're out in the world, meeting people, making connections, and having conversations that matter.

If you're the second kind, we should talk.

Public Outreach is hiring Nonprofit Outreach Representatives to join our face-to-face fundraising team in Boulder.

You'll work with a supportive team, meet people throughout the community, and help nonprofit organizations build support for causes like environmental protection, human rights, LGBTQIA+ equality, reproductive freedom, and humanitarian relief.

We're looking for people with personality, curiosity, resilience, and the confidence to start a conversation.

We'll teach you the rest.

This isn't a desk job, a call center role, or a position where you do the same thing every day.

You'll be out in the Boulder community, talking with people face-to-face and helping them discover causes worth supporting.

Your day will involve:

Starting conversations with people you haven't met before

Sharing stories about important nonprofit campaigns

Inspiring people to become ongoing monthly donors

Working outdoors alongside an energetic, supportive team

Building communication, persuasion, and public speaking skills

Receiving coaching and working toward fundraising goals

The important part: This is a direct, face-to-face fundraising role. You'll be approaching members of the public, asking for financial support, and hearing "no" plenty of times.

It's not for everyone.

But if you enjoy connecting with people, can laugh off an awkward conversation, and like getting better at something challenging, you might be surprisingly good at it.

You earn a guaranteed hourly wage.

You’ll make $20/hour from day one, plus opportunities for performance bonuses. This is not a commission-only job.

Your work supports causes that matter.

Help nonprofit organizations build the long-term support they need to protect people, communities, and the environment.

You'll develop skills that travel with you.

Communication, confidence, storytelling, teamwork, leadership, and handling rejection are useful almost everywhere.

You're not doing it alone.

You'll receive paid training, work alongside experienced fundraisers, and get regular feedback to help you improve.

There's room to grow.

Your background doesn't have to look a certain way.

Maybe you've worked in restaurants, retail, customer service, or sales. Maybe you're a student, recent graduate, performer, teacher, camp counselor, or community volunteer.

Maybe you've never had a job that involved public speaking, but you've always been the person who can strike up a conversation with just about anyone.

All of those experiences can translate well into nonprofit outreach and fundraising.

We care more about your attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn than having the perfect resume.

At Public Outreach, we believe different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences make our teams stronger.

We welcome applicants of all identities and backgrounds and are committed to an inclusive, respectful workplace where everyone can be…
