Activist Job Description: To increase our influence and build support for issues that matter, Coalition for Peace Action is leading an aggressive new staff recruitment effort, involving public events, direct mail, and a professional community-outreach program. You will work with a team of canvassers, performing educational outreach and speaking with about 30 people each evening.
Hours are approximately 2:00 p.m. till 10:30 p.m.
You will recruit contributors and volunteers, collect small and large contributions, and generate petition signatures, letters and phone calls on key campaign issues. You will raise funds to finance voter education campaign activities, identify sustainers, patrons, and other high level donors to the Coalition’s work. While contacting supporters and collecting contributions, petition signatures, and letters, you will also learn what it takes to build grassroots support and mobilize voters and taxpayers to take action.

You will learn how to motivate and mobilize a group of activists around specific campaign goals. Learn the art of effective fund-raising and how to train others. Recruit and identify volunteers and conduct letter-writing campaigns that will have an impact.
Advanced positions require training new staff in effective community outreach and fundraising skills. You will be responsible for coordinating travel of a crew safely to and from the field each day, planning logistics of canvassing specified townships, and communicating with township officials to allow reasonable regulation of the Coalition's efforts in each community.
Starting salary for full time staff is $300/wk plus bonus.
