Environmental Nonprofit Campaign Jobs

Work to Protect our Ocean in our Canvassing and Field Manager Positions

The California coast is home to incredible wildlife like sea otters, turtles, and birds. But life in the ocean is at risk due to overfishing and climate change. Already, 90% of the world's large fish, like sharks and tuna, are gone.

One of the best ways to help wildlife is by expanding marine protected areas, which are off-limits to commercial activity. The Newsom administration is considering new marine protections, including at Monterey. We are hiring canvassers and field managers in our Oakland 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.
