Care about civil rights, equality, and standing up for people's freedoms?

Turn that passion into work you can actually do every day.

Public Outreach is hiring passionate, outgoing people to join our Denver fundraising team and represent leading nonprofit organizations working to protect civil rights and create meaningful social change.

No fundraising experience is required.

We'll teach you how to fundraise. We're looking for people who already care.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

This is face-to-face fundraising.

You'll work alongside a team in public spaces throughout the Denver area, starting conversations about important civil-rights and social-impact campaigns.

You’ll:

• Approach and speak with people from all walks of life
• Talk about civil rights, equality, and social justice
• Explain important issues in a clear, human way
• Share how nonprofit organizations are working to protect people’s rights
• Inspire people to take action by becoming monthly donors
• Work toward individual and team fundraising goals
• Receive regular coaching and support from experienced leaders

This isn't petitioning or volunteer work.

You’ll be asking people directly to financially support nonprofit organizations through monthly donations.

THE ISSUES YOU MAY WORK ON

Depending on your campaign, your conversations may involve:

• Civil rights and civil liberties
• Racial justice and equality
• LGBTQ+ rights
• Reproductive freedom
• Voting rights
• Immigrant and refugee rights
• Freedom of speech and expression
• Privacy and individual freedoms
• Protecting people from discrimination
• Other human-rights and social-justice issues

Campaign assignments can change over time, but the purpose remains similar - helping nonprofit organizations build the public support they need to continue their work.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN EXPERT

You don't need a nonprofit background.

You don't need a political science degree.

And you definitely don't need to know everything about every issue.

We'll provide paid training on the campaign you’re representing and teach you how to fundraise.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO:

Care about civil rights, equality, or social justice

Pay attention to what's happening in their communities and the world

Enjoy meeting and talking with new people

Can communicate serious issues with empathy

Are open to feedback and coaching

Are motivated by goals

Want work connected to something meaningful

Experience in advocacy, volunteering, community organizing, theatre, hospitality, education, customer service, fundraising, canvassing, or sales can translate especially well - but isn't required.

THE REALITY OF FUNDRAISING

Caring about the cause is important.

So is being comfortable asking people to support it.

You'll approach people you don't know, start conversations, and eventually ask them to become monthly donors.

Some people will stop and listen.

Some won't.

You’ll hear no regularly.

You’ll need to reset, stay positive, and confidently start the next conversation.

We'll provide paid training, regular coaching, and support from your team.

Your hourly wage is guaranteed. Your results still matter.

PAY & BENEFITS

• $20/hour guaranteed base pay
• Performance-based bonuses on top of your hourly wage
• Paid training from day one
• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Regular coaching and professional development
• Opportunities to grow into training and leadership
• Health, dental, and vision benefits for eligible full-time employees and their families after 3 months
• Paid time off
• Employee Assistance Program

This is not commission-only work. Your $20/hour base wage is guaranteed.

SCHEDULE & LOCATION

Our Denver fundraising shifts typically run:

• Tuesday to Thursday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM
• Friday to Sunday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM

You must be available for at least 3 full shifts per week.

You’ll work with your team at fundraising locations throughout the Denver area.

This is active, public-facing work. Expect to spend much of your shift outdoors, walking, standing, and speaking with people.

COME AS YOU ARE

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

Bring your personality, your perspective, and a willingness to learn.
