RACSTL is looking to hire several Fundraising Associates to sell raffle tickets at various arts and culture events. Ideal candidates are friendly, motivated, positive, and have a passion for fundraising. Our most successful Team Members love the arts and St. Louis.

  • All event admission fees where in-person sales take place are covered directly by RACSTL.

How to Apply:

Who We Are Looking For:

We are looking for someone with strong sales and customer service skills. We don’t expect you to have sold 50/50 tickets before, but prior experience processing credit cards would be nice.
