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

Public Outreach is hiring passionate, outgoing people to join our Denver fundraising team and represent leading nonprofit organizations working to protect civil rights and create meaningful social change.

No fundraising experience is required.

We’ll teach you how to fundraise. We’re looking for people who already care.

This is face-to-face fundraising.

You’ll work alongside a team in public spaces throughout the Denver area, starting conversations about important civil-rights and social-impact campaigns.

You’ll:

Approach and speak with people from all walks of life

Talk about civil rights, equality, and social justice

Explain important issues in a clear, human way

Share how nonprofit organizations are working to protect people’s rights

Inspire people to take action by becoming 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 people directly to financially support nonprofit organizations through monthly donations.

Depending on your campaign, your conversations may involve:

Civil rights and civil liberties

Racial justice and equality

LGBTQ+ rights

Reproductive freedom

Voting rights

Immigrant and refugee rights

Freedom of speech and expression

Privacy and individual freedoms

Protecting people from discrimination

Other human-rights and social-justice issues

Campaign assignments can change over time, 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 a political science degree.

And you definitely don’t need to know everything about every issue.

We’ll provide paid training on the campaign you’re representing and teach you how to fundraise.

We’re looking for people who:

Care about civil rights, equality, or social justice

Pay attention to what’s happening in their communities and the world

Enjoy meeting and talking with new people

Can communicate serious issues with empathy

Are open to feedback and coaching

Are motivated by goals

Want work connected to something meaningful

Experience in advocacy, volunteering, community organizing, theatre, hospitality, education, customer service, fundraising, canvassing, or sales can translate especially well - but isn’t required.

Caring about the cause is important.

So is being comfortable asking people to support it.

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

Some people will stop and listen.

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.

$20/hour guaranteed base pay

Performance-based bonuses on top of your hourly wage

Paid training from day one

Full-time and part-time opportunities

Regular coaching and professional development

Opportunities to grow into training and leadership

Health, dental, and vision benefits for eligible full-time employees and their families after 3 months

Paid time off

Employee Assistance Program

This is not commission-only work. Your $20/hour base wage is guaranteed.
