$20/hour guaranteed + bonuses | Paid training | Boston area

Care about human rights, humanitarian aid, fighting poverty, or helping children and families affected by conflict and disaster?

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

Public Outreach is hiring outgoing, passionate people to join our Boston-area fundraising team.

You'll represent leading nonprofit organizations working on issues like humanitarian relief, children's rights, poverty and inequality, civil liberties, and support for communities facing crisis.

No fundraising experience is required. We'll train you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

This is face-to-face fundraising.

You'll work with a team in public spaces throughout the Boston area, starting conversations about important causes and inspiring people to become monthly donors.

You'll:

Talk with people about humanitarian and human-rights issues

Share stories about people and communities affected by conflict, disaster, poverty, and inequality

Explain how nonprofit organizations are responding

Turn complicated issues into clear, human conversations

Ask people directly to become 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 members of the public to financially support nonprofit organizations through monthly donations.

THE ISSUES YOU MAY WORK ON

Depending on your campaign, your conversations may involve:

Children and families affected by war and displacement

Humanitarian emergencies and disaster relief

Hunger and global poverty

Refugees and displaced communities

Inequality and economic justice

Human and civil rights

LGBTQ+ rights

Reproductive freedom

Protecting people's rights, safety, and dignity

Campaign assignments can change, 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 to know everything about international affairs or public policy.

We'll train you on the campaign you're representing and teach you how to fundraise.

THE REALITY OF FUNDRAISING

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

Some people will stop.

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 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

You'll work with your team at fundraising locations throughout the Boston area.

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

You must be able to consistently commit to your scheduled full shifts.
