Location: Toronto, Ontario
Are you an environmentally conscious and socially active person?
Do you enjoy nothing more than engaging with people about environmental issues
and trying to get people engaged? Then canvassing for Earthroots could be right
up your alley.
Earthroots is a not-for-profit Ontario based environmental charity focused on
the protection of wilderness, wildlife, and watersheds in Ontario. Throughout
the years we’ve made significant and long term impacts in the protection of our
green spaces, provincial parks, and growth trends in the province.
We are seeking creative, responsible, reliable, environmentally minded
individuals to join our canvass team. The position involves engaging people
door-to-door in residential neighbourhoods in Toronto to raise awareness about Earthroots
and our campaigns, to get petitions signed, and to seek donations to support
our campaigns.
This is a paid part-time position. While doing canvass work has its trials and
tribulations and is not for everyone, this could be the perfect job for you!
Working outside with a group of politically active and like-minded individuals
can be very rewarding. As a part time job, we do everything we can to
accommodate your schedule. The position also provides a lot of insight into the
inner-working of environmental NGOs, and is a great way to get your foot in the
door at Earthroots. It is hard to find employment you can feel good about these
days – Earthroots would not exist without the ongoing efforts of our dedicated
canvass team, so if you want a job you can feel good about, look no further!
Qualifications
• Post-secondary education in an environmentally related discipline an asset.
• Past experience working or volunteering in the not-for-profit sector an
asset.
• Canvassing experience preferred
• Comfortable speaking and approaching people is a must
• Able to work on a team towards a common goal
• Excellent communication skills
• Friendly, engaging, out-going
