Hi Bianca,

Thanks for sending this out to your club, and sorry not to get it to you yesterday.

I am on campus today and tomorrow holding information sessions about summer jobs with Environment Rhode Island working on environmental campaigns. Our office here is in Providence, but we're working through the Fund for the Public Interest, which runs campaigns for other progressive organizations across the country––so students who will be elsewhere this summer should still get in touch. See below for more details.

I'll be at a table in the Memorial Union with Sarah Martin from our group, and interested students can either find us there or attend one of our information sessions in Memorial Union Rm. 301 at these times:

Wednesday and Thursday 10 am, 2 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm

Thanks!

Channing Jones

The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization that works to build support for progressive organizations across the country. We run campaigns for the Human Rights Campaign, USPIRG, and Environment America. This summer we will be in over 50 cities, working and lobbying to help win environmental and social justice campaigns.

Last summer our staff helped ban off-shore drilling to protect our coasts, repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and increase food safety standards to make school lunches safer- all while building valuable leadership skills.

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 fund-raise, 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 be holding information sessions and interviews at University of Rhode Island on March 27th and 28th at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm each day. The information sessions will be located In MU MU room 301 from 10:00am-5:30pm on Wednesday March 27th. On Thursday March 28th the information session will be located in MU MU room 301 from 10:00am-6:00pm.
