Student PIRG
Campus Organizer: 2015-2016 Job Description
Early Application
Deadline: October 19th
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.
Today, on any college campus, you can find students who feel driven to
take on problems outside the classroom, whether it's global warming, big money
in politics, or hunger and homelessness.
As a PIRG Campus Organizer, your job is to recruit these students to
get involved -- and to train them to be effective leaders who can run campaigns
that make an impact in the community, in the state capitol, in Congress, at the
White House, or wherever it will make a difference.
