Grassroots Canvasser

June - July 2018 • Los Angeles, CA

What I liked

I loved working for a campaign that I personally felt connected to. We canvassed all throughout California-mainly many neighborhoods and also in San Diego to help ban single-use plastic item that cause so much damage to our ecosystem and wildlife. I had this job while I was traveling in California (I am originally from Maine), so this experience just added to what I was already experiencing during my travels.

What I wish was different

I didn't particularly like the script we had to consistently stick to. As a more creative thinker, I felt like I received more signatures and donations when I strayed from the script and sounded less robotic. However, the theme in the office was to only stick to this script, which we practiced every day.

Advice

Find a job that makes you excited to go to work!
