Campus Organizer
Campus organizers recruit students, faculty and community members to
investigate problems and build support for solutions. Campus organizers,
and the volunteers they train, research issues, build coalitions, work
with the media, educate the public, and generate citizen support on
issues ranging from poverty to environmental protection. Through their
actions, they win concrete reforms, acquire the skills necessary to be
a leader in the public interest movement, and leave a legacy of
skilled, trained leaders capable of tackling society's most pressing
problems.

Fellowship
The goal of a PIRG Fellowship is to help develop leaders for the public
interest movement. You might see yourself becoming a field organizer,
advocate—or even director of a public interest group someday. As a PIRG
Fellow, you gain hands-on experience in organizing, advocating and
leading public interest campaigns in your first year on staff. More
importantly, you get real results, whether at the local, state or
federal level. And your experience is complemented by intensive
training and the direction and advice of a senior mentor.

Issue Advocate
PIRG advocates spend every day working to create exciting and rewarding political change on behalf of the public interest. On the local, state and federal levels, advocates achieve concrete
victories on their issues by employing the time tested techniques of
investigative research, media exposes, grassroots organizing, advocacy
and litigation. More specifically, PIRG advocates are responsible for duties including policy development, campaign strategy, lobbying, media outreach and fundraising.
