Campus Organizer:
The U.S. has more problems than we should tolerate, and more solutions than we use. To change this equation, we need more people to participate in public life—to get informed and get active on the issues that affect our lives. This need is especially acute on college campuses, where training students to become effective citizens should become a core part of every curriculum. That’s where the PIRG campus organizer comes in. By working with students, campus organizers are able to make an impact on a number of issues from protecting the environment, to fighting hunger and homelessness and increasing the youth voter turnout. By working with students, campus organizers make an impact on issues while training the next generation of leaders. Throughout our country’s history, students have been at the forefront of nearly every social movement and campus organizers ensure that legacy continues. For more information about the state PIRGs’ student chapters, visit www.studentpirgs.org.
Fellow:
The goal of a PIRG Fellowship is to develop leaders for the public interest movement. You might see yourself becoming a field organizer, advocate—or even director of a public interest group someday. As a PIRG Fellow, you gain hands-on experience in organizing, advocating, raising money, recruiting staff and leading campaigns in your first year on staff. More importantly, you get real results, whether at the local, state or federal level. And your experience is complemented by intensive training and the direction and advice of a senior mentor. As a PIRG fellow, you will build expertise on global warming, open space destruction or another social problem. You’ll conduct research, craft policy solutions, act as a spokesperson to the media, build diverse coalitions, write grants, recruit activists and members and develop the kind of politically powerful support you need to win. Your day-to-day work might include meeting with a state or national decision-maker, researching or writing a report, canvassing door-to-door, conducting a news conference, or directing a citizen outreach campaign. Upon successful completion of the two-year program, you’ll be eligible for a leadership role within the organization.
