Start Date: As soon as possible

Position Type: Year-round position with flexible scheduling (21–35 hours per week; overtime opportunities available)

Compensation: Starting at $20/hour (not commission-based) with opportunities for daily performance bonuses

About UsPublic Outreach was founded in 2002 by passionate Greenpeace canvassers who believed fundraisers deserve fairness – a reliable base salary, not commission.

Since then, we’ve become one of North America’s leading ethical fundraising agencies, specializing in connecting people with charities through honest, respectful, and effective conversations. We build sustainable monthly donor programs that fund long-term change for causes that matter.

We’re guided by three core values:

Honesty: No commission-based pay, just transparent, ethical fundraising built on trust.

Respect: A workplace rooted in inclusion, anti-oppression, and genuine care for one another.

Results: We’re goal-driven and growth-minded, but we measure success through long-term impact and supportive coaching–not pressure.

Why You'll Love This Role
As a Fundraiser, you’ll build one of the most valuable skills in any career: communication. Every day, you’ll connect face-to-face with people, inspire action, and make a real impact for causes that matter.

You’ll spend your days outdoors, surrounded by fresh air and new scenery, working with a supportive, passionate team that values creativity, growth, and genuine connection.

Whether you’re between gigs, exploring new opportunities, or looking to supplement your income, this role offers the perfect balance of flexibility, consistency, and purpose. It’s a chance to align your work with your values, grow your confidence, and help build a more compassionate, sustainable world.

What to Expect
We travel all across LA! Every day is different. Street location types vary: coffee shops, bookstores, grocery stores, farmers' markets, and events. No two days are the same. Explore new neighborhoods, learn the city very quickly, and connect with the community.

You’ll inspire people to become monthly donors supporting environmental protection, human rights, and humanitarian aid.

You’ll always have support. From day one, you’ll receive paid training, ongoing coaching, mentorship, and continuous skill development. You’ll work closely with a team that values growth and authenticity – and you’re never alone in the field.

A typical day: Your team meets at a central location accessible by public transit before heading out together to your fundraising site. Carpooling is often coordinated, but it’s your responsibility to ensure you can commute each day.

If you thrive on human connection, enjoy variety, and want your work to mean something, join Public Outreach’s Fundraising team.
