MAKE A LIVING. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Every day, people around the world face challenges that deserve more attention - from humanitarian emergencies and poverty to environmental protection, human rights, and access to essential resources.

Behind the organizations working to address these issues are everyday people who choose to get involved.

Your job is to help make those connections happen.

Public Outreach is hiring outgoing, compassionate, and motivated people to join our outdoor, face-to-face fundraising team in Calgary, Alberta.

You’ll represent nonprofit organizations working on humanitarian relief, environmental protection, human rights, and social justice - helping inspire people to become long-term supporters of causes that matter.

This isn't a desk job. It's an active, outdoor position where you’ll meet people, build confidence, and develop communication skills while earning a guaranteed hourly wage plus opportunities for bonuses.

We're looking for people who care about others, enjoy meaningful conversations, and are comfortable staying active and working outdoors.

Our teams work outdoors in all safe weather conditions, including rain, cold, and warmer temperatures, with appropriate safety precautions.
