It is the second largest public transportation system in the United States and provides millions of rides each week.

Job description

Canvasser — Lakefront / Loop, Chicago

Location: Lakefront and Loop, Chicago, IL (the Loop, South Loop, Streeterville, River North, Gold Coast, Near North, and surrounding lakefront neighborhoods)

Pay: $20/hour

Type: Full-time, Part-time, Seasonal

Start Date: September 7

About the Program

This program focuses on increasing voter participation and engagement in Chicago's lakefront and downtown neighborhoods, and ensuring that every voice in the community is heard. At Solidarity Strategies, we are committed to electing Democrats and driving progressive change through grassroots organizing and one-on-one conversations with voters.

About the Role

We're hiring passionate, outgoing, and reliable canvassers to join our field team along the lakefront and in the Loop. As a canvasser, you will speak directly with voters at their doors, share information about the campaign, and collect important data using tools like MiniVAN.

Turf in this area is dense and vertical — you'll be working high-rise and mid-rise residential buildings, condo associations, and secured lobbies, which means more doors in a smaller footprint and a premium on professionalism with building staff. Evening and weekend shifts are where the best contact rates happen.

This is an entry-level position — no prior experience required. Paid training will be provided. Flexible schedules and multiple shifts are available.

What You'll Do

  • Canvass assigned residential buildings and blocks

  • Talk with voters and share information about the campaign

  • Accurately collect and record data using MiniVAN

  • Submit daily reports and check in with your supervisor

  • Represent the campaign and its values professionally with residents, doormen, and building management

  • Perform additional duties as assigned by the Field Director or Field Organizers

What We're Looking For

  • Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with new people

  • Friendly, reliable, and detail-oriented

  • Comfortable working in high-rise buildings, including stairwells and long hallways, and outdoors in various weather conditions

  • Poised and professional when interacting with building staff and property managers

  • Tech-savvy and able to use a smartphone for data entry and navigation

  • Problem-solving skills for efficient route planning

Requirements

  • Must be 18 years or older

  • Authorized to work in the U.S.

  • Must have a smartphone with mobile data

  • Reliable transportation to and from your assigned turf — CTA, rideshare, bike, or personal vehicle all work

  • Flexible availability: 12+ hours per week, including some evenings and weekends

  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

Why Join Us

  • $20/hour starting pay

  • Flexible scheduling with multiple shifts available

  • Paid training — no experience necessary

  • Work with a supportive, mission-driven team

  • Make a direct impact on electing Democrats and empowering your community
