Job Description

Community Canvassers and Team Leaders -  Get Out the Vote!

Hiring Immediately - $24-26/hr + bonuses

Full-time & Part-time

Help us get out the vote! In November, we must work together to make sure we elect champions who will stand up for reproductive freedom for all Michiganders - both in Washington and right here at home. That’s why The Outreach Team is partnering with Planned Parenthood Michigan Votes to protect our rights and educate the community on the fast-approaching election. When people can make decisions about their own reproductive health care, they have more control over their economic security, their health, and well-being, and can build the future they see for themselves. Politicians have no business interfering with private healthcare decisions. Join us as we work to educate voters in Michigan to make sure their voices are heard at the ballot box this fall.

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

Get paid well! Canvass positions start at $24/hour. Leadership positions start at $26/hour. We offer paid training and bonuses for friend referrals (and more). All team members have the opportunity to earn an extra $3-$4 per hour by maintaining a full-time schedule and working weekends through our bonuses.

Location: Troy, MI
