Public Outreach is hiring Street Fundraisers to join our Los Angeles team.

You'll work outdoors alongside a team, speaking face-to-face with people about important humanitarian and social-impact issues and inspiring members of the public to support nonprofit organizations through recurring donations.

No fundraising experience is required. We provide paid training and ongoing coaching.

We're also hiring quickly. If there's a strong mutual fit after your interview,
you may be invited to a paid trial shift that same week.

As a Street Fundraiser, you'll work with your team in busy public areas throughout Los Angeles.

You'll:

Approach people and start conversations

Learn about important nonprofit campaigns and explain them clearly

Ask questions and build genuine connections

Share stories that help people understand why an issue matters

Inspire people to support nonprofit organizations through recurring donations

Work toward individual and team fundraising goals

Receive regular coaching to strengthen your communication and fundraising skills

Depending on the nonprofit campaign you're representing, your conversations could involve issues such as:

Humanitarian emergencies and disaster response

Food, clean water, shelter and medical aid

Communities affected by conflict or displacement

Global poverty and food insecurity

Human rights and equality

Support for children, families and communities

Long-term, community-led solutions

Campaign assignments can change, so we'll provide the training and information you need to confidently represent the organization you're working with.

You don't need a particular degree or fundraising background.

We're looking for people who can:

Confidently walk up to someone new and say hello

Learn about complex issues and explain them clearly

Tell a story without sounding scripted

Ask thoughtful questions and actually listen

Speak passionately about something they care about

Confidently ask someone to take action

Take feedback and try a different approach

Hear "no" and move on to the next conversation

Experience in hospitality, retail, customer service, sales, theatre, music, education, advocacy, volunteering, public speaking or community outreach can translate especially well.

More than anything, we're looking for strong communicators who enjoy being around people and are willing to learn.

We want you to know what you're applying for.

This is active, outdoor, performance-based work
.

You'll spend much of your shift walking and standing, approaching new people and having conversations outdoors.

Not everyone will stop.

Not everyone will donate.

You'll hear "no" more often than "yes," and you'll work toward clear fundraising goals.

Your $20/hour starting wage is guaranteed - this is not a commission-only position.

We'll provide paid training, ongoing coaching and support from your team. You bring the energy, resilience and willingness to keep improving.

And you won't be doing it alone
- our fundraisers work alongside a partner or team.

We don't believe in making strong candidates wait weeks for a decision.

If you're invited to interview, we'll give you a realistic look at the position and answer your questions.

If there's a strong mutual fit,
you may be invited to a paid trial shift within the same week as your interview.

Your trial gives you an opportunity to experience the work, meet the team and see what street fundraising is actually like before moving forward.
