WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH IMPACT
What will you do with Impact? First, you’ll come together with other new
and experienced staff from across the country to learn how to make your
impact in classroom trainings on the issues, our campaigns, our
strategies and the tactics you’ll be using throughout the year. Then,
you’ll put those skills to use in the field. Your campaign assignment
will depend in part on where you applied to work and where you can make
the biggest difference. For example, you might build the coalition that
convinces a major restaurant to stop serving meat raised on antibiotics.
Or you could organize the news event that convinces the governor in
your state that switching to more renewable energy is an opportunity to
be a hero with the public. Even when there’s not a vote coming up,
organizing helps build long-term power to secure victories in the
future. By first educating people on an issue and then winning them over
to our point of view, we lay the groundwork for political change. It’s
challenging, fun and incredibly meaningful. We’re taking on big issues
and we’re up against big adversaries. We run campaigns with concrete
goals, detailed plans, rigorous training, and above all, a laserlike
focus on results.
HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT
Every day with Impact is different. You could be connecting with new
health or consumer groups to build a coalition to stop antibiotic
overuse, speaking in a church basement or at a town hall meeting on 100
percent renewable energy, organizing a news event on water pollution
from factory farms, or meeting with an editorial board about any of
these issues. During the summer, you’ll run a citizen outreach
canvass—and have the power of a paid staff of college students and
others ready to help you build support for an issue, recruit new
members, and raise funds for the campaign. And you’ll recruit the next
wave of Impact organizers and interns so we can continue to work on more
campaigns. So if what you want to do after college is to join a team of
people who bring their passion to work every day to make an impact on
issues that matter, then we’re the group for you.
