Careers in Progressive Change: Opportunities for Graduating Seniors

The progressive movement has seen some major advances in the past few years, from the EPA implementing better carbon emission standards to more and more states finally allowing full marriage equality to the LGBT community. Despite this, we still face huge challenges with opposition to progressive issues.

Over the next year and the next election cycle, Grassroots’ activists will reach millions of people all across the country to talk about the issues and call those people to action, inspiring millions to act, giving donations, time and energy to organizations who have the best ideas on how to make the world a better place. In 2016, we’ll also be working in key states across the country to elect candidates who will advance progressive change.

There will always be easier jobs to take, but no path will be more rewarding.

Grassroots Campaigns is currently hiring Assistant Canvass Directors to run field campaigns on behalf of issue-based organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and The Nature Conservancy.

Grassroots Campaigns is looking to interview interested students to join our teams as Canvass Directors and Assistant Canvass Directors. We’re already running campaigns in major cities across the country, and we’ll be launching new projects this summer in over 25 locations like Illinois, DC, and California as we build towards 2016.

There is no better time get involved and shape the next generation of activists that will take this country in a more progressive direction and see change on issues that matter now.

A representative from GCI will be on campus again in mid-April, meeting with interested candidates and holding interviews. We can also conduct evening phone inquiries from time to time.  Students who are interested should contact Jeremy Isenberg directly:
