Hiring Immediately - Canvassers Needed!

Full-time & Part-time $21-23/hr

This is Not a Fundraising Position.

Join our campaign to educate Pennsylvanians about the Inflation Reduction Act!

We’re urgently hiring door-to-door campaign staff to educate Pennsylvanians about the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Canvassers are paid hourly to engage members of the public about the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and connect them to clean energy resources. The IRA saves money for individuals and helps combat climate change by providing benefits to homeowners who utilize energy efficient home upgrades. Taking advantage of the IRA benefits reduces our environmental footprint and improves the quality of life for Pennsylvanians. Unfortunately, too few residents know about the IRA or how to access these benefits. Our goal is to provide the public with information on these tangible benefits to reduce their monthly costs while also fighting the climate crisis.
