Canvass Director We're hiring and training Canvass Directors to make an impact on some of the most important problems of our time - like protecting wildlife and wild places, eliminating plastic waste that is polluting our oceans, ensuring we have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, and more. Having policy solutions to these problems often isn't enough to make the changes we need. To win positive change, we need to educate, engage and mobilize people across the country to support those solutions. We're hiring Canvass Directors to build the people power it takes to tackle these problems and win. Directors and their staff work to build public support through one-on-one, face-to-face conversations on America's front doorsteps, generating the kind of support that lasts longer than a news cycle and goes deeper than an online petition.

We have immediate positions available as well as positions starting throughout the year. Apply to work with us if you want to: Educate and engage the public on campaigns like protecting forests and the wildlife that depend on them, moving beyond single-use plastics, and stopping electronic waste.

Locations We work on campaigns and in locations that we think will make the biggest difference. We are looking for Canvass Directors who are ready to go where they're needed most and wherever they can make the biggest impact.
