Turn Your Conviction Into Real-World Impact

This is not a desk job.

This is face-to-face advocacy - having real conversations about immigrant rights, civil liberties, gender equity, and humanitarian aid.

If you feel frustrated watching rights erode, families separated, or children in crisis without support, this is your chance to do something tangible about it.

We are building a team of passionate fundraisers to represent leading human rights and global aid organizations. Everything we do is powered by everyday people.

What You’ll Be Supporting

Our current campaigns focus on:

Defending immigrants’ rights and due process
Challenging mass deportations and attacks on birthright citizenship
Protecting constitutional and civil liberties through the courts
Ending child marriage and expanding girls’ access to education
Delivering emergency food, healthcare, and hygiene supplies in conflict zones
Rebuilding schools, hospitals, and community infrastructure after crisis

Your work directly funds legal action, grassroots organizing, and life-saving humanitarian aid.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Meeting at our NYC office at the start of each shift
Traveling with your team to outreach locations across the city
Approaching members of the public and starting conversations
Delivering a structured script (Introduction - Problem - Solution - Your Why - Call to Action)
Signing up new monthly donors who sustain long-term change

This role requires:

Clear, continuous verbal communication in English
Working outdoors in varying weather conditions
Standing and walking for extended periods
Comfort speaking with strangers throughout your shift
Working toward daily and weekly performance goals

You will hear "no." Often.
You will also change minds.

Who Thrives Here

You might be a great fit if you:

Care deeply about immigrant justice, civil liberties, or global gender equity
Are comfortable initiating conversations with strangers
Are resilient and don’t take rejection personally
Can commit to at least 24 hours per week

Are legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship

Let’s Be Honest

This job is challenging.

You’ll be outside.
You’ll talk about heavy issues.
You’ll be told no.

But when someone signs up to fund legal defense for detained families or provide education to a girl who would otherwise be forced into marriage - that feels different.

If you want work that aligns with your values and builds serious communication skills, this is it.

Apply today and help build a team that funds real change.
