Location : GTA – city street fundraising team (placement based on need)

Description

Public Outreach is looking for confident, passionate communicators to join our in-person fundraising teams across the Greater Toronto Area. Your role is to start meaningful conversations that lead to real change.

We represent some of the world’s most respected non-profits – organizations fighting for climate action, humanitarian aid, and human rights. Our charity partners depend on steady, long-term support to continue their life-changing work – and as a Public Outreach Fundraiser, you’ll help make that possible by inspiring people to become ongoing monthly donors.

This is not your average fundraising job. You’ll be a storyteller, advocate, and ambassador – someone who can connect authentically, communicate with empathy, and spark enthusiasm for change.

What Makes A Successful Fundraiser?

A successful fundraiser is more than someone who can meet goals. They are someone who embraces feedback, takes ownership, and brings a positive, can-do attitude to every challenge. They hold themselves accountable, are always looking for ways to grow, and understand the power of collaboration.

Most importantly, they know that great work can and should be enjoyable. They bring energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of joy to the workplace, inspiring those around them while building meaningful relationships with donors, colleagues, and the community.

Requirements:

• Strong command of the English language
• Availability for full-time work (at least 4 days per week) within the following shifts:
  • Monday-Saturday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM
• Ability and willingness to work on your feet for extended periods
• Comfortable working outdoors year-round, rain or shine
• Ability to reliably commute to GTA fundraising sites (locations like Pickering Town Centre, Eaton Centre, Upper Canada Mall or Michael Garron Hospital and North York General).
• Access to a car is a valuable asset but not a requirement (we encourage team carpools!)

Qualifications:

• Excellent communication, storytelling, and listening skills
• Charismatic, engaging, and persuasive communicator – someone who can inspire others
• Genuine passion for social justice, humanitarian aid, and environmental protection
• Resilience and emotional maturity – able to handle rejection with positivity
• Confidence speaking with people from diverse backgrounds
• Adaptability in fast-paced environments
• A team player who also thrives independently
• Leadership experience is a strong asset
