Become a Social Change Leader! Apply for a PIRG Campus Organizer position!


PIRG Campus Organizer Position
Students founded PIRG (Public Interest Research Group) over 40 years ago, based upon the simple idea that America has more problems than we should tolerate, and more solutions than we use. We’re hiring organizers who recognize we are inheriting a country that is facing some real challenges – we’re losing time to combat climate, big money and corporate contributions are corroding our democracy, and the cost of higher education continues to increase and bury graduates in debt. Students have been at the forefront of social change for decades. And the Student PIRGs have organized students across the country to get real results. For example, we mobilized students to ban plastic grocery bags in dozens of cities across America. We passed strong state legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by putting more clean cars on our roads. When you become an Organizer with the Student PIRGs, you’ll recruit, train and organize students to tackle these problems head-on.

Responsibilities may include:
Recruiting hundreds of students to volunteer
Teaching students to plan and run effective campaigns through internship classes and on-the-ground training
Building relationships with faculty and administrators
Organizing news events and rallies, and generating the grassroots support it takes to win campaigns
During the summer, each Campus Organizer runs a citizen outreach office. This entails fundraising and building the organization, by canvassing and training others to canvass

Qualifications:
Strong work ethic
Outstanding verbal and written communication
Proven leadership skills
Strong commitment to getting results
Passion for making positive social change
