CAREERS IN ORGANIZING
Students have been at the forefront of social change throughout history, from civil rights, to voting rights to protecting the environment. For over 40 years, the Student PIRGs have hired year-round, full-time Campus Organizers who help students get organized, mobilized and energized so they can create a greener, healthier, more meaningful future. Our organizers work with students on college campuses across the country, giving them the resources they need to make a difference on the issues they care about.

With the Student PIRGs, you'll start a career working with the next generation of students who, like you, believe students have the right and the responsibility to shape the future they will inherit.

As a Campus Organizer you will:
Engage and mobilize hundreds of students
