Work to Save the Bees in Our Canvassing and Field Manager Positions

Almost a quarter of bumblebee species are at risk of going extinct, and pesticides called neonics are a big reason why. Neonics disrupt bees’ nervous system, impair their ability to forage and ultimately can lead to colony collapse.

Environment Oregon is working to save the bees by restricting these bee-killing pesticides. We are hiring canvassers and field managers in our Portland office to educate the public about the issue, raise critical funds, and generate the visibility necessary to influence decision-makers.

As a canvasser this summer you will:

• Educate and engage citizens on a campaign to make real change on pressing environmental and public interest issues
• Develop essential communication and political advocacy skills
• Build membership and raise money for nonprofit groups in your community
• Earn leadership opportunities, supervising and managing staff in the field
• Gain the experience and connections needed to launch your career in nonprofit and policy work

We are looking for:

• We are seeking hard-working individuals with good communication skills and a passion for social change. We are hiring full-time staff only.
