Job Description

About the Campaign

Our mission is to promote the vision of a future where abundant clean energy dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions, safeguards our health, and revitalizes communities across PA and the nation, especially rural regions that have faced decades of disinvestment. Together, we can spark a sustainable economy that works for everyone.

We're launching a Community Engagement Campaign in Erie and McKean Counties to connect directly with neighbors about clean energy, climate solutions, and the opportunities they bring to our communities. Join us to have real conversations that move people to action.

About the Role

As a Community Engagement Canvasser, you'll be the face of this effort - knocking on doors, engaging residents in meaningful dialogue, and building public support for climate and clean energy solutions. You'll work on a team powered by Groundswell Contact, a progressive firm known for equity-centered, high-impact field organizing

What You'll Do

  • Engage voters and community members one-on-one at doors, local sites, and public events.
  • Educate residents about clean energy opportunities, environmental justice, and how they can take action.
  • Collect pledges, petitions, or sign-ups showing support for climate initiatives.
  • Record data accurately using a simple mobile app.
  • Participate in daily team launches, training, and debriefs.
  • Represent the campaign and its values with positivity and professionalism.

What You'll Bring

  • A passion for people, sustainability, and community-driven change.
  • Strong interpersonal skills - you enjoy connecting with others.
  • Reliability and a self-starter attitude; you take initiative.
  • Ability to walk multiple blocks at a time in assigned neighborhoods throughout the shift.
  • Ability to stand for extended periods (up to several hours) while engaging community members at doors or public relations. 
  • Ability to access and knock on residential doors, including locations that may require walking up or down stairs, navigating uneven pathways, or approaching homes set back from the street.
  • Comfortable working outdoors in varied weather conditions with appropriate breaks and safety protocols.
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 15–20 pounds of canvassing materials (clipboards, literature, water, personal supplies, etc.).
  • A working smartphone with data.
  • Reliable transportation required, including access to a personal vehicle and a valid driver's license.
  • Must be 18 years or older and legally eligible to work in United States
  • Have never been convicted of a felony that involves identity theft or campaign fraud.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Flexible schedule - pick the shifts that work for you.
  • $26/hour, paid weekly! 
  • Mileage stipend for approved drivers who drive for work purposes during their shift
  • Health stipend for those who work 30+ hours a week, starting week one 
  • Additional bonus opportunities throughout the project 
  • Opportunities to advance - many of our directors started as canvassers.
  • Hands-on training with experienced organizers.
  • Be part of a positive, inclusive, mission-driven team making real change in Western Pennsylvania.
