Human Rights & Humanitarian Fundraiser - $20/hr + Daily Bonuses

San Diego | $20/hour guaranteed + daily bonuses | Paid training

Human rights. Equality. Freedom. Fighting poverty. Helping people affected by crisis.

If these are issues you genuinely care about, we'd like to meet you.

We're hiring passionate, outgoing people to join our San Diego fundraising team and represent respected nonprofit organizations working in the U.S. and around the world.

These organizations take on some of today's biggest challenges - defending people's rights and freedoms, fighting injustice, responding to humanitarian crises, reducing poverty, and helping people build safer and more secure futures.

Your role is to help make that work possible.

You'll work face-to-face with members of the public throughout San Diego, starting conversations about important causes and inspiring people to become long-term supporters.

You'll:

• Talk with people about human rights, equality, poverty, humanitarian issues, and social change

• Educate members of the public about the work nonprofit organizations are doing

• Turn awareness and compassion into meaningful action

• Inspire people to support nonprofit campaigns through monthly donations

• Work alongside a passionate, supportive fundraising team

• Develop strong communication, advocacy, and public-speaking skills

• Work toward individual and team fundraising goals

This is an active, public-facing position. You'll spend your shifts meeting new people, having real conversations, and learning how to communicate about issues that matter.

You don't need previous fundraising experience.

You don't need to be an expert on every issue either.

We're looking for people who are curious about the world around them and genuinely care about people.

Maybe you're passionate about human rights.

Maybe you care about racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, women's rights, refugee and migrant rights, or protecting individual freedoms.

Maybe you're concerned about poverty, humanitarian emergencies, or whether people around the world have access to safety, opportunity, and dignity.

Or maybe you simply want a job where the conversations you have every day can contribute to something bigger.

We'll teach you about the campaigns you're representing and give you the training and coaching you need to become a confident fundraiser.

• Enjoy meeting and talking with new people

• Care about human rights, humanitarian causes, or social impact

• Are comfortable approaching members of the public

• Can communicate passionately while still respecting different perspectives

• Enjoy working as part of a team

• Are open to feedback and coaching

• Are comfortable working outdoors and being active throughout your shift

• Are reliable and can consistently get yourself to work

• Can commit to at least 3 shifts per week

• Are 18 years of age or older

• Are legally authorized to work in the U.S.

Experience in advocacy, volunteering, hospitality, theatre, education, retail, customer service, community organizing, canvassing, fundraising, or sales can be helpful - but it isn't required.

• $20/hour guaranteed base pay

• Daily performance bonuses

• Paid training and ongoing coaching

• Full-time and part-time opportunities

• A supportive and inclusive team environment

• Opportunities to build communication, fundraising, and leadership skills

• Benefits after 3 months for eligible full-time employees

• Paid time off

• Employee Assistance Program

Great fundraising starts with a conversation.

Someone may already care deeply about human rights but not know how to get involved. Someone else may have never thought much about what happens to families when conflict, disaster, or poverty turns their lives upside down.

You get to start that conversation.

You'll help people understand the issue, introduce them to work being done to address it, and give them an opportunity to become part of the solution.

Some conversations will be challenging. Some people will say no.

But others will stop, listen, ask questions, and decide that they want to help.

Those are the conversations that make this work worth doing.

If you're looking for a job that combines people, purpose, and real-world impact, apply today. We'd love to meet you.

Public Outreach is committed to building an inclusive workplace. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, experiences, and perspectives. Accommodations are available throughout the hiring process upon request.
