Do you want to make a difference post graduation? Spring Early Application Deadline 3/12
The Student PIRGs is hiring graduating seniors to be full-time organizers on campuses across the country. Below is a bit more about the position and how to apply before our Early Application Deadline on 3/12.
Students are often at the forefront of movements to build a better future for our country. But students only make real progress when they are organized, have the skills to be effective, and a strategic plan to get things done. That’s where we come in: For almost 50 years the Student PIRGs have been working to amplify the power of student activism and help students make real change, right now, to help all Americans to live meaningful lives and to have a future that’s greener and healthier.
For example last week, hundreds of PIRG student leaders across the country advocated for affordable higher education, funding for students’ basic needs, and the support universities need to reopen safely. Our student leaders came to the Capitol last week (virtually, of course) to meet with members of Congress and their staff to advocate for doubling the Pell grant, including student dependents in stimulus payments, and setting aside money in the next COVID-19 response bill to give emergency grants to students to meet their basic needs.
Are you ready to apply- visit our website now. Our Early Application Deadline is 3/12!
As a full-time organizer with the Student PIRGs’, your responsibilities will include:
- Inspiring and recruiting hundreds of students to take action on important issues.
- Training students to be effective social change leaders so they can run strategic campaigns, using skills like organizing news conferences, building strong coalitions, generating grassroots support, and coordinating lobby days.
- Building a strong, sustainable, student-funded, and student-run organization on campus by fundraising, building relationships with key players on campus, and building our brand.
- Building relationships with other student groups, faculty and administrators.
- Working alongside students to win real reforms for the public.
- Running a citizen outreach office during the summer, where you’ll recruit and lead a team of canvassers to fundraise for important issues.
If you want to help students get organized, mobilized, and energized apply today . Please submit your application by our Spring Early Application Deadline on 3/12/21!
