Community Canvassers and Team Leaders: Make Healthcare More Affordable
Hiring Immediately; $21–23/hr + bonuses
Full-time & Part-time

We are gathering signatures to qualify two municipal ballot measures to create Citizens’ Advisory Healthcare Action Committees to improve access to and affordability of healthcare in our local area. Healthcare costs are rising, wait times are getting longer, and barriers to care are increasing across our communities. These measures would establish a formal process for residents, patients, healthcare workers, and community stakeholders to identify challenges, amplify our voices, and advocate for solutions to strengthen local healthcare systems. Our team will be out in the community speaking to voters to help give communities a stronger voice in shaping the future of healthcare. 

Canvassing is all about connecting with people face-to-face, having meaningful conversations, and inspiring them to take action on important issues. We spend our days outdoors, in public spaces to engage with community members. 

This role is a great opportunity to gain experience in the following areas: Leadership, Communication & Advocacy, Community Outreach & Engagement, Campaign Work, Public Policy, and Social Enterprise.

Get paid well! Petition Circulator positions start at $21/hour. Team Lead positions start at $23/hour. We offer overtime pay, shift bonuses, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals.
