Community Outreach Specialist (Field & Door-to-Door)

Community Outreach Specialist – Metro Detroit

Safe Haven is hiring a confident, people-focused professional to help homeowners learn about a free utility program that improves comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.

This is a field-based position that combines door-to-door outreach and follow-up calls. You’ll visit pre-qualified homeowners who’ve already received program information and are expecting contact—you’ll even have their names and details before arriving. This isn’t cold canvassing; it’s professional, respectful outreach to help families take advantage of a program that benefits them directly.

What You’ll Do

- Knock on doors and speak directly with pre-qualified homeowners

- Introduce and explain the free utility program clearly and confidently

- Make follow-up phone calls to answer questions or schedule assessments

- Build trust and communicate professionally in every interaction

- Represent Safe Haven at community events and neighborhood meetings

- Keep accurate notes and report daily outreach activity

What We’re Looking For

- Strong communication and people skills—comfortable face-to-face and on the phone

- Professional, courteous, and dependable demeanor

- Reliable transportation for field work across Metro Detroit

- Self-motivated and able to work independently without micromanagement

- Prior experience in door-to-door outreach, canvassing, or community engagement is a plus

Pay & Benefits

- $20/hour base pay (≈ 40 hours/week)

- Performance-based bonuses available — typically earned between $125 and $175 per week by strong performers

- Vehicle reimbursement for field travel

- Generous PTO and flexible scheduling

- Paid training and ongoing support from a mission-driven leadership team

Schedule

- Full-time (40 hours/week)

- Includes evenings and weekends when homeowners are most likely to be home

Why Safe Haven

We believe in respectful outreach—no high-pressure tactics, no gimmicks. Every interaction should benefit the homeowner as much as it does the mission. If you take pride in doing work that matters and representing a company built on trust, you’ll fit right in.
