PIRG Campus Action

PIRG Campus Action works to organize, amplify, and empower students as we tackle the issues that shape our future.

We know college students have the power to make a difference. From the Freedom Riders of the ‘60s to the voter registration drives of today ... from the anti-apartheid movement of the ‘80s to the drive for fossil fuel divestment now -- students are always pushing our communities, our country and our world forward.

With PIRG Campus Action, you work with students to organize projects that promote clean energy, public health and a stronger democracy. You’ll be a trainer, an inspirer, a full-on changemaker and a behind-the-scenes support system for student activists, giving them the resources they need to unlock their full power to build a brighter future.

We’re hiring for positions in California, Massachusetts, Oregon, New Jersey, North Carolina and a few other states.
