Community Outreach Canvasser (Brighton)

Community Outreach Canvasser

Donor Development Strategies is running the first ever neighborhood canvass membership building and fundraising campaign for WGBH Public Radio and Television Boston s local public media station. We are looking for folks that are passionate about public media to get out into neighborhoods and engage the public about WGBH. WGBH has been an essential community resource for decades. It provides millions of people with in-depth news coverage early childhood education and intelligent entertainment. Its ability though to provide unique programming to Boston and New England WGBH relies heavily on member support -- which is why we are building a community outreach team to bring thousands of new members into the fold. Our staff talk to community members at their homes each day and ask those who support WGBH to contribute to the cause all while gathering important program and demographic data to enrich our understanding of the WGBH audience. Our work environment is fun casual and mission-driven. No fundraising or canvassing experience is required we provide all necessary training. We are also looking for talented individuals with a background in canvassing to fill leadership positions as field managers. Field managers are an essential part of the office leadership team. FMs lead a team of three to five every day train new staff and work closely with the Field Office Directors to drive the success of the campaign.
