Summer Jobs with Environment New Jersey



Subject: Summer Jobs that matter! Interviews at Rutgers

Hey! My name is Dan DeRosa. I graduated from Rutgers in 2010 and have since been working as a Field Organizer with the Fund for the Public Interest and Environment New Jersey. I started working with the Fund back in 2009, working to get more solar power in New Jersey – and guess what, we won! Today, New Jersey has more solar than any other besides California, Arizona, and Hawaii! I’ll be back on campus Tuesday-Thursday (March 4-6) hiring students to work with us this summer on our campaigns. Learn more at
www.JobsThatMatter.org or call 1-800-75-EARTH today.

The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization that works to build support for environmental and social change organizations across the country.  We run campaigns for the Human Rights Campaign, Environment New Jersey and New Jersey PIRG. This summer we will be in over 50 cities, including here in New Jersey @ New Brunswick, Summit and Ridgewood working and lobbying to help win environmental and social justice campaigns.

Year after year, I’ve seen our summer staff make a difference on critical issues. Whether its protecting the Jersey Shore from pollution, repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, or quadrupling the amount of Solar Power in New Jersey – we’ve won on these issues and we’ll win this summer too.

This summer our staff will work to make sure we tackle Global Warming, work to get big money out of politics, label GMO foods and protect our drinking water from Fracking – and build valuable leadership skills along the way. Around the country we’ll work to ban plastic bags, get more clean energy and protect LGBTQ rights.

Currently, we have paid positions open on our campaign staff in each of our locations.  We require that interested candidates are hard workers and have excellent communication skills.

As a member of our staff, you will fundraise, build membership for our partner groups, and educate and activate citizens on pressing issues. You will also have the opportunity to organize press conferences and build coalitions with other non-profit organizations.  While on staff, you gain knowledge of pressing concerns our country is facing, learn how to effectively generate public support, and obtain a firm understanding of the political process.

We will hold information sessions and interviews at Rutgers on Tuesday-Thursday (March 4-6) at 10 AM, 2 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM. We will be at 2 locations each day; come to whichever location and time is most convenient for you.

On Tuesday, March 4th we will have information sessions in the Livingston Student Center Room 202 A and Douglass Campus Center Meeting Room A.

On Wednesday, March 5th we will have information sessions in the
College Avenue Rutgers Student Center Cap and Skull Room 413 and Livingston Student Center Room 109.

On Thursday, March 6th we will have information sessions in the
College Avenue Rutgers Student Center Atrium and Livingston Student Center Room 109.
