Earthrooots Environmental Outreach Canvasser Job Vacancy in Canada

-profit environmental organization
dedicated to protecting wilderness, wildlife and watersheds, through
research, education and action. We are currently seeking outgoing,
responsible, environmentally-minded individuals to join our
door-to-door canvass. For almost two decades our dedicated canvass
team has played an essential role in helping the organization achieve
its goals.

The position involves engaging people in residential neighbourhoods in
Toronto through mainly door-to-door outreach to raise awareness about
the organization and our campaigns, get petitions signed, and ask for
financial support. This is a paid part-time position. The position
will also require some office work, and outreach at festivals and
other events in the city.

While canvassing has its trials and tribulations and is not for
everyone, this could be the perfect job for you! Spreading the word
about important environmental issues while working with a group of
politically active and like-minded individuals can be very rewarding.
This position allows flexibility in terms of scheduling your shifts
each week and also provides a lot of insight into the inner-workings
of a small environmental group – it is a great way to get your foot in
the door at Earthroots. Finding employment that you can feel good
about is challenging these days – if this position sounds like a good
fit for you, then look no further!

As this is in part funded by Canada Summer Jobs you must meet these
requirements to be eligible for this position:

(a) is between 15 and 30 years of age (inclusive) at the start of employment;

(b) was registered as a full-time student during the preceding academic year;

(c) intends to return to school on a full-time basis during the next
academic year;

(d) is a student in a secondary, post-secondary, CEGEP (Quebec only),
vocational or technical program;

(e) is a Canadian Citizen, permanent resident, or person on whom
refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act*; and

(f) is legally entitled to work

Post-secondary education exclusively in an environmentally related
discipline, and/or past experience working or volunteering in the
not-for-profit sector are an asset, but not required.
