About The Outreach Team

The Outreach Team is a premier national field firm. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.  

We are currently seeking Field Directors to join us on an important and exciting campaign to help Rural Arizona Action register Arizonans to vote for a more just and equitable society. We are hiring for multiple Lead Director and Deputy Director positions in Tucson.

Donald Trump and MAGA extremists have raised significant concerns about the health of American democracy. His disregard for democratic norms, attacks on the media, and erosion of institutions have undermined the checks and balances essential for a functioning democracy. Trump's authoritarian rhetoric and behavior, along with his divisive policies, have exacerbated political polarization and weakened social cohesion. Be a part of the fight to stop him by registering people to vote.

Field Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to register folks to vote. Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of three or more Deputy Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. This position reports to the Project Director.
