Work to tackle the growing E-waste problem in our canvassing and field manager positions. 

We throw out over 400,000 cell phones each day. We could eliminate a lot of this waste if companies just made it easier to fix the stuff we already own. Instead, companies restrict access to parts and tools, forcing consumers to replace rather than repair their electronic devices.

We’re hiring canvassers and field managers in our Minneapolis office to build public support to pass a bill that would keep our devices in use and out of landfills, by giving us what we need to fix our stuff.

As a canvasser you will:

• Educate and engage citizens on a campaign to make real change on pressing environmental and public interest issues
• Develop essential communication and political advocacy skills
• Build membership and raise money for nonprofit groups in your community
• Earn leadership opportunities, supervising and managing staff in the field
• Gain the experience and connections needed to launch your career in nonprofit and policy work

At Fund for the Public Interest, we are seeking hard-working individuals with good communication skills and a passion for social change. We are hiring both full-time and part-time staff. 

Benefits:

• Medical, dental and vision insurance for employees and dependents
• Commuter benefit program
• 401(k) with employer match
• Paid time off
• Excellent training program
• Opportunities for advancement

*Eligibility for benefits depends on your position, location, duration of employment, and other factors.

Pay: Average of $17.00 - $27.00 per hour

Fund for the Public Interest is an equal opportunity employer.
