Job description

Community Canvassers and Team Leaders

Hiring Immediately; $20–21.50/hr + bonuses. Full-time & Part-time.

We are currently hiring campaign staff to canvass door-to-door on behalf of Planned Parenthood Votes! South Atlantic to rally the vote for candidates who will protect our right to make our own decisions and keep the government out of our healthcare.

North Carolina’s sweeping abortion ban and restrictions on reproductive healthcare are harming real people. Bans on any healthcare put politics above people and out our futures on the line. We’re working to ensure that everyone can live, thrive, and raise families in healthy communities. Politicians have no business interfering with private healthcare decisions. We’re fighting to stop this government intrusion and put power back in the hands of the people.

This role is a great opportunity to gain experience in the following areas: Leadership, Communication & Advocacy, Community Outreach & Engagement, Campaign Work, Public Policy, and Social Enterprise.

Get paid well! Canvassing positions start at $20/hour. Team Lead positions start at $21.50/hour. We offer overtime pay and paid training.
