Description

Public Outreach is looking for confident, passionate communicators to join our in-person fundraising teams across the Greater Toronto Area. You'll be inspiring folks on the streets of Toronto; your role is to start meaningful conversations that lead to real change.

We represent some of the world’s most respected non-profits – organizations fighting for climate action, humanitarian aid, and human rights. Our charity partners depend on steady, long-term support to continue their life-changing work – and as a Public Outreach Fundraiser, you’ll help make that possible by inspiring people to become ongoing monthly donors.

This is not your average fundraising job. You’ll be a storyteller, advocate, and ambassador – someone who can connect authentically, communicate with empathy, and spark enthusiasm for change.

Requirements:

• Strong command of the English language
• Availability for full-time work (at least 4 days per week) within the following shifts:
• Monday-Saturday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM
• Ability and willingness to work on your feet for extended periods
• Comfortable working outdoors year-round, rain or shine
• Ability to reliably commute to GTA fundraising sites (Kipling & Vaughan).
• Access to a car is a valuable asset but not a requirement (we encourage team carpools!)

Qualifications:

• Excellent communication, storytelling, and listening skills
• Charismatic, engaging, and persuasive communicator – someone who can inspire others
• Genuine passion for social justice, humanitarian aid, and environmental protection
• Resilience and emotional maturity – able to handle rejection with positivity
• Confidence speaking with people from diverse backgrounds
• Adaptability in fast-paced environments
• A team player who also thrives independently
• Leadership experience is a strong asset

Overview of Job Duties:

• Engage face-to-face with the public on behalf of respected non-profits
• Build rapport, listen actively, and tell compelling stories about our charity partners’ work
• Inspire individuals to become monthly donors to sustain meaningful causes
• Represent organizations dedicated to climate justice, equality, and humanitarian relief
• Participate in ongoing coaching and training to strengthen communication and leadership skills
• Work collaboratively with your team to meet daily and weekly fundraising goals

Schedule

• 8 hours per day, 5 days per week (minimum 4-day commitment)
• Shift options:
• Monday-Saturday: 11:00 AM - 7:00 PM

What We Offer

• Guaranteed $19 per hour + performance-based incentives (no commission)
• Bumps to $20 after a successful evaluation period
• Benefits after 6 months of consistent employment
• Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Full-time, year-round, stable hours
• Ongoing coaching, leadership development, and skills training
• A fun, supportive, and inclusive team environment
• Meaningful work that directly funds change for climate action, conservation, and human rights
• Opportunities for advancement for fundraisers demonstrating strong leadership and communication skills
