Work For Change (Atlanta)

2009-12-07T13:37:12-05:00

In November 2008, we elected the most progressive, pro-environment leadership to Congress and the White House in decades, giving us a rare opportunity to win strong, progressive change on nearly every issue Americans care about.

But no one said change would come easy. As we get closer to winning, health insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry, the radical right and other powerful interests are pulling out all the stops to maintain the status quo.

This is our moment. Some of our nation�s leading change groups � Sierra Club, HRC, U.S. PIRG, Environment America, and others � are working to show supportive leadership in Congress and the White House that Americans are behind change.

Do you want to be a part of it? If so, we�ve got the job for you!

The Fund for the Public Interest is currently hiring Citizen Outreach Directors and Assistant Directors to run grassroots canvass offices around the country.

We�ve raised tens of millions of dollars for the Sierra Club. We�ve expanded the Human Rights Campaign�s grassroots base into places like Texas, Ohio and Georgia. And that�s just the start of it.

As a Citizen Outreach Director or Assistant Director, you�ll recruit, train and lead a staff of 10-40 canvassers to go out into communities on critical campaigns, raise money, mobilize support and build membership for some of the nation�s top progressive organizations. You�ll manage your staff, plan your campaign work, handle the administrative details, and learn and do everything it takes to run a successful grassroots campaign office.

New staff will earn $23,750-$26,500 depending on position. The Fund offers a generous benefits package that includes college loan assistance and competitive vacation and holiday policies. Staff are encouraged to join our group health care plan.
