Toronto, ON, CA

Salary Range: $19.00 To $20.00 Hourly

$19/hr to start + bonuses | $20/hr after evaluation | Paid training | GTA

Hate the idea of sitting at a desk all day?

Good.

This job is built around talking to people, working with a team, moving around, and supporting nonprofit causes that actually matter.

Public Outreach is hiring outgoing, reliable people to join our face-to-face fundraising teams across Toronto and the GTA.

No fundraising experience required. Paid training starts from day one.

THE BASICS

• $19/hour to start
• $20/hour after successful evaluation
• Bonuses on top of your hourly wage
• Guaranteed hourly pay - not commission-only
• Minimum 32 hours per week
• Full 8-hour shifts
• At least one weekend day
• Paid training
• Social, team-based work
• Different fundraising locations throughout the GTA

WHAT'S A FUNDRAISING SHIFT ACTUALLY LIKE?

You'll work alongside a team at busy public locations across the GTA.

Depending on your campaign and team, you could work in:

• Hospitals
• Busy streets and public spaces
• Other community locations

You spend your shift:

• Meeting new people
• Starting conversations
• Learning about the nonprofit you're representing
• Sharing stories about important causes
• Asking people to become monthly donors
• Working toward team and individual goals
• Getting coaching to improve

You will talk to a lot of people.

Some will be interested.

Some won't.

Some will say no before you've finished your first sentence.

Then you'll move on to the next person.

WHO DOES WELL HERE?

You don't need to be the loudest person in the room.

You do need to be willing to talk to people.

This could be a great fit if you:

• Are naturally social
• Enjoy being part of a team
• Are comfortable meeting new people
• Want to improve your communication skills
• Like working toward goals
• Take feedback well
• Are reliable
• Care about nonprofit or community causes
• Don't want every workday to feel exactly the same

People join our teams from retail, restaurants, hospitality, theatre, education, childcare, customer service, volunteering, sales, advocacy, and many other backgrounds.

CAUSES THAT MATTER

Our nonprofit partners work on issues such as:

• Children's health
• Mental health
• Humanitarian relief
• Human rights
• Community support
• Other social-impact causes

The campaign you represent may change during your employment.

We'll train you on whichever nonprofit you're fundraising for.

WHERE YOU'LL WORK

Your interview and initial training take place in person at our downtown Toronto office.

Once trained, you'll work with your fundraising team at different locations throughout Toronto and the GTA.

You do not need to report downtown before every shift.

You will need to reliably get yourself to your assigned fundraising location using public transit, your own vehicle, or another dependable transportation option.

Carpools may sometimes be available, but they aren't guaranteed.

SCHEDULE

We're looking for candidates who can consistently commit to:

• At least 32 hours per week
• Full 8-hour fundraising shifts
• Availability throughout the week
• At least one weekend day
• Travel throughout the GTA
• Full-time availability is strongly preferred.

PAY & BENEFITS

• $19/hour starting wage
• $20/hour after successful evaluation
• Guaranteed hourly pay
• Performance-based bonuses and incentives
• Paid training
• Regular coaching and development
• Leadership opportunities
• Health and dental benefits for eligible full-time employees after 6 months of full-time work
• Paid time off
• Employee assistance resources

Your hourly wage is guaranteed. This is not a commission-only position.

COME AS YOU ARE

We think work is better when you can actually be yourself.

Our team includes members of the LGBTQ+ community, and creating a workplace where people feel safe, respected, supported, and welcome genuinely matters to us.

Queer, trans, and applicants from underrepresented communities are welcome here.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

• Are 18 or older
