Community Canvassers and Team Leaders - United Firefighters of LA City
Hiring Immediately - $24-35/hr
Full-time & Part-time
Los Angeles is growing, but our city budgets haven’t kept up with the needs of our Los Angeles Fire Department Firefighters. This campaign will work to pass a ballot initiative to expand the LAFD, adding desperately-needed firefighters and modernizing facilities to meet the city’s demand and keep our communities safe. Working on this campaign, you’ll help win a practical, local solution that protects families, improves emergency response times, and invests in community safety.
This is a chance for Angelenos to step up for each other and help shape a safer city.
Petitioners will canvass in busy public areas and engage voters in one‑on‑one conversations to gather signatures for this important ballot initiative. 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!
Base pay is $24/hour. We offer daily performance bonuses, which increase earning potential to $35 or more per hour. We also offer overtime pay, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals. If you are a fluent bilingual speaker, you may earn an additional $2 per hour.
