At PIRG Campus Action, our full time organizers work on college campuses
across the country to empower students to make a difference on critical
environmental and social issues.
If we’re serious about climate change, we can’t afford to drag our
feet—so we’re pushing cities and states to commit to 100% renewable
energy, now. We rely on bees to pollinate our food, yet we’re allowing
some pesticides to drive them toward extinction—so we’re working to ban
these bee-killing pesticides. The overuse of antibiotics on factory
farms is putting millions of lives at risk — so we’re urging big chains
like KFC to stop doing business with these farms. In short, we’re
organizing to make a difference right now.
We’re looking for people who have the passion and the drive it takes to
win positive change on these important issues, and who aren’t afraid of
hard work. If that sounds like you, consider working with us.
What you’ll do
If you become an organizer with PIRG Campus Action, you’ll organize and
build the campus chapter into something that works -- now, and for years
to come. You’ll recruit hundreds of students to volunteer and get
involved, and teach them how to plan and run effective campaigns through
internships and on-the-ground training. You’ll build relationships with
faculty and administrators, while organizing news events and rallies,
and generating the grassroots support it takes to win campaigns. During
the summer, you’ll run a citizen outreach office, building the
organization by canvassing and training others to canvass. And you’ll
learn from some of the best organizers in the country—people who have
been doing this work for more than 30 years.
Locations
We’re hiring organizers to work on college campuses in California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Oregon and a few other states.
Pay & benefits
The target annual compensation for this position is $25,500 in the first
year. PIRG Campus Action offers a competitive benefits package. We also
offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
