Threshold Giving is hiring entry-level Field Canvassers and Children's Health Advocates in partnership with Boston Children's Hospital. You'll do outdoor and street-based field outreach. No prior experience is necessary as we provide paid training for our Advocates.

Our Brighton Office!

Threshold Giving is proud to partner with Boston Children’s Hospital. BCH is dedicated to improving and advancing the health and well-being of children through clinical care, biomedical research, medical education, and community engagement. Ranked among the nation’s leading pediatric hospitals, Boston Children’s helps kids and families find care, cures, and hope they cannot find anywhere else.

Your Role as a Face-to-Face Canvasser and Entry-Level Advocate

You’ll help grow a community of monthly partners whose support powers care and research at BCH. Through personal conversations on busy streets, at events, retail locations, and in neighborhoods (including field canvassing and outdoor outreach) you’ll highlight urgent needs and show how everyone can take action. F2F fundraising allows real-time engagement, builds understanding, and drives meaningful, lasting progress.
