Environmental Campaign Staff

Job description

Who We Are:

Fund for the Public Interest is seeking hard-working individuals with good communication skills and a passion for social change to fill citizen outreach and field manager positions across the country this summer. With offices in selected cities across the country this summer, we are hiring full-time staff, with leadership opportunities available, to work on issues like stopping plastic pollution, saving old growth forests, and moving towards a 100% clean energy future.

This summer in our Seattle office, we’re working to pass the Right to Repair Act. In Washington, we create tons of electronic waste — including an estimated 3 million cell phones tossed away each year. We could avoid much of this if companies just made it easier to fix the stuff we already own. Instead, companies restrict access to parts and tools, forcing consumers to replace rather than repair their electronic devices. We’re working to pass a bill in Olympia that would keep our devices in use, and out of landfills, so we’re hiring staff to build public support.

As a canvasser you will:

• Educate and engage citizens, build support and fundraise on pressing issues
• Get experience with the leadership and communication skills and connections needed to launch your career
• Build membership and raise money for environmental and social change groups

Pay:

Staff earn on average $19.97-$28/hour based on location and performance. you have a base pay of $19.97, plus you can earn 20% of what you raise over our minimum standard, which means staff often have the opportunity to earn over $25 an hour. Staff never earn less than minimum wage for the hours that they work. So, depending on performance and location, you could earn an average of between $19.97 to $28 per hour.

Benefits*:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance for employees and dependents
• Commuter benefit program
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off
• Excellent training program
• Opportunities for advancement

*Eligibility for benefits depends on your position, location, duration of employment, and other factors.
