We’re building a team to work on the most pressing political problems of our time. Our work supports the progressive movement at-large building real and lasting power for groups- registering the historically disenfranchised constituencies to vote, protecting women’s reproductive health, and turning out young women to vote against another Trump term this Fall.
As a Canvass Director, you and the canvass staff you hire and train will have an important impact on these issues through face-to-face conversations with people on their doorsteps. We build the people power it takes to overcome powerful opposition standing in the way of solutions – you’ll fundraise and mobilize people to get involved. Being a Canvass Office Director requires that you work independently, exercise good judgment and work hard to meet your office’s staffing, campaign and fieldwork goals.
Apply to work with us if you want to:
- Educate and engage the public on campaigns like protecting women’s reproductive health
- Build support and fundraise for leading non-profit groups
- Hire, train and manage your own team
- Mobilize public support for issues you care about and make a real and lasting difference on the outcome of the next election.

Training
We have an excellent training program, which starts with hands-on training. You’ll also be exposed to organizers and groups working to support the progressive movement on the whole.
Throughout the year, new and experienced canvass directors may have the opportunity to attend advanced trainings on staff management, canvassing, campaign strategy, and other skills.
Responsibilities:
- Office Operations & Management: Oversee and manage the day-to-day canvassing office operations, ensuring efficiency, organization, and productivity.
