Early application deadline Nov. 1st

My name is Shawna Upton and I’m the Recruitment Director with the Student PIRGs.

I’m reaching out to see if you can spread the word about our upcoming early application deadline on November 1st.

The Student PIRGs are hiring organizers to work on issues like protecting our environment, moving our country towards renewable energy and zero waste, and strengthening our democracy.

Our organizers work full-time to provide students the training, professional support and resources they need to move our country forward while gaining campaign skills and being trained by some of the top organizers in our country.

Students are often at the forefront of movements to build a better future for our country. Whether or not those students make real progress depends on whether they are organized, have the skills to be effective and a strategic plan to get things done. The Student PIRGs have been working for over 40 years to amplify the power of student activism, and help students tackle some of the country’s most pressing problems.

Here are just a few of the victories the Student PIRGs have worked to accomplish this year:

• We helped more than 30,000 young people register to vote, made over 1 million GOTV contacts, and protected students’ right to vote at the ballot box, which all contributed to an unprecedented increase in youth voter turnout in 2018.
• Our field team in California channeled the national energy around climate solutions into their SB100 campaign and pushed the largest state in the country to commit to 100% renewable energy.

In Connecticut, our students organized locally to ban plastic bags at the University of Connecticut and then advocated for and won a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags!
