About Neighbours United
Neighbours United is a community-driven charity that brings people together in rural, small, and suburban areas to support policies that defend the people and places we love. Through strategic campaigns using engagement organizing, deep canvassing, and communications, we are moving the needle in places often left out of progressive movements. By centering personal stories we broaden public support beyond the usual environmental base.

We focus on areas and audiences that are frequently written off as unreachable. We invest in real conversations that matter to people.

We are known for our deep canvassing based approach: listening, leading with personal stories, and creating space for people to wrestle with real tensions. Rather than broadcasting messages, we create conversations that allow people to reflect, connect, and act.

About The Role
We're hiring an Affordable Electric Homes Campaign Organizer to lead our organizing in Port Coquitlam.

Affordable Electric Homes is about something people already care about: affording to keep our homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This role is about having conversations at the door, about how participation with our city councillors can make that happen. Your goal is to build a team of neighbours who can have them too.

You will manage three paid canvassers, run deep canvassing across Port Coquitlam,



and develop volunteer leaders who take on real ownership. You will also prepare volunteers to meet their elected representatives and speak for themselves.

Success in this role means volunteer leaders in Port Coquitlam who can run things without you, a canvass team having genuine conversations rather than hitting quotas, and visible local political engagement on affordable electric homes.
