Fund For The Public Interest is a national nonprofit organization working to increase the visibility, membership and political power of the nation's leading environmental and progressive groups.

Job Description



Jobs running urgent campaigns.
It doesn’t take an oil spill, a financial meltdown or another gay marriage ban to see that we’ve got work to do. Too often, powerful special interests use their money and influence to block progress on consumer protections and social justice issues and convince decision makers to look the other way as the put our environment at risk.

To win we're going to need people -- lots of people -- to join the call for change.

The Fund for the Public Interest is currently hiring Citizen Outreach Directors and Assistant Directors to run grassroots canvass offices around the country.

Recruit, train and lead a staff of 10-40 canvassers to go out into communities on critical campaigns, raise money, mobilize support and build membership for some of the nation's top progressive organizations.

The Fund is the nation's leading organization running grassroots campaigns across the country for leading social change groups including Environment America, U.S. PIRG, the Sierra Club and the Human Rights campaign.
