State Public Interest Research Group
Fellowship Program
Through the U.S. PIRG Fellowship Program, you’ll get the kind
of experience it takes to make your voice heard on issues that matter.
The goal of the U.S. PIRG Fellowship Program is to develop recent
college graduates for important roles in the movement for positive
social change. As a U.S. PIRG fellow, you’ll gain the hands-on
experience it takes to organize public support. You’ll build
expertise on transportation solutions, campaign finance reform, toxic
pollution cleanup or another important issue. You’ll conduct
research, craft policy solutions, act as a spokesperson to the media,
build coalitions, write grants, recruit activists and members, and
develop the kind of political support you need to win. Your day-to
day work might include meeting with a state or national decision-maker,
researching or writing a report, canvassing door-to-door, conducting
a news conference, or directing a citizen outreach campaign. You’ll
work alongside a senior mentor. Upon successful completion of the
two-year program, you’ll be eligible for a leadership role within
the organization. |
