Students have stood on the front lines of important social movements, from civil rights to gay rights to antiwar efforts. U.S. PIRG
campus organizers tap student idealism and energy, and help student volunteers and activists turn their concerns into effective action.
Campus organizers work on three to six campaigns in a semester, such as working to pass clean energy legislation, increasing youth
voter turnout on campus, fighting hunger and homelessness in the local community, and other important public interest campaigns.
The role of a campus organizer is two-fold: to achieve concrete social change and to develop the next generation of leaders. Through
this approach, campus organizers build the kind of power it takes to solve our country’s current problems while ensuring that their
legacy continues well into the future.
Responsibilities include:
Recruiting and training volunteers on grassroots tactics, media outreach and more
Teaching an internship class on activism skills
Building relationships with faculty and administrators
Holding events with decision-makers
Generating the grassroots support it takes to win campaigns
Fundraising and building the organization by canvassing for portions of the year, in addition to running a citizen outreach
office in the summer months
Qualifications:
Strong work ethic
Outstanding verbal and written communication
Proven leadership skills
Strong commitment to getting results
Passion for making positive social change
We value experience with campus groups or student government and academic achievement
Training & Experience
Campus organizers participate in regional and national trainings throughout the year as well as trainings on-campus.
Training includes fieldwork with experienced U.S. PIRG staff and a classroom training of lectures, briefings, discussions
and role-plays. Throughout the year you gain valuable skills and hands-on experience.
