Job description

Threshold Giving is proud to partner with the Sierra Club, the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the country. For more than 130 years, Sierra Club has worked to promote clean energy, safeguard community health, protect wildlife, and preserve wild places through grassroots activism, public education, lobbying, and legal action.

As an Environmental Advocate, you’ll be the trusted voice in your community — engaging the public, answering questions, and inspiring support for the fights that protect land, air, water, and climate.

Your Role as a Face-to-Face Fundraiser

You’ll help grow a community of monthly supporters whose gifts power Sierra Club campaigns. Through personal conversations on busy streets, at events, retail locations, and in neighborhoods, you’ll highlight urgent issues and show how everyone can take action. Face-to-face fundraising allows real-time engagement, builds understanding, and drives meaningful, lasting progress.

What We Offer

• Competitive base pay ($20–$25/hour depending on market) + uncapped bonus opportunities
• Full-time positions available. Part-time is available only if you can complete the first two weeks of training full-time, then work a part-time schedule that includes Saturdays and Sundays
• Comprehensive training, professional development, and career growth opportunities
• Supportive team environment with benefits (including counseling, legal/financial services, and insurance after 90 days in qualifying roles)
• Year-round work — not seasonal — making a real difference every day
