Summer Campaign Staff
Now is the time to work for change. This summer we have the opportunity to win big change on issues that are critical to America, from affordable, dependable health care to more and better public transportation. But there's one thing that we know we need to win—citizen support and grassroots action. That's why we've partnered with the Fund for the Public Interest to hire college students, graduates, and activists across the state to go out into communities to talk with citizens about the issues, raise money, and build membership for Iowa PIRG. Staff also have the opportunity to work with the media, build coalitions and mobilize activists. Similar positions are available in more than 50 offices across the country.

Fellowship
If you want a job where you can work to solve problems each day, consider a job with U.S. PIRG. U.S. PIRG is the federation of state PIRGs, a national network of nonprofit organizations that advocate on behalf of the public interest. Starting with thorough research, we tackle problems that need to be solved.
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.
New Voters Project Lead Organizer
The 2008 presidential election provides a major opportunity to boost youth participation in the political process. The youth generation, or “Generation Y”, born between 1977 and 1994 is large and growing. By 2015, Generation Y voters ages, 18-38, will be one-third of the U.S. electorate. As such, they have the potential to make big impacts on key issues such as global warming, college affordability, health care and financial security.
The Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project is a nonpartisan effort to
register young people and to get them to the polls on Election Day.
Since launching the New Voters Project in 2003, we have done this work both to
boost youth participation in democracy and to get politicians to pay
attention to young people and the issues that they care about. More.
