Paid internships: Fund for the Public Interest

Professor David Sousa,

My name is Katrina Rosen and I’m a Canvass Director with the Fund for the Public Interest. We're a nationwide non-profit that runs grassroots campaigns on behalf of progressive groups like the Sierra Club, the Human Rights Campaign, WashPIRG and Environment Washington.

I am contacting you because I am recruiting students at the University of Puget Sound to work as summer campaign staff, building grassroots support and membership for the non-profits we work with.

We’re looking for students who need paid summer positions and would be passionate about working on environmental and social justice campaigns. We know that many students who would be interested in this type of work do not necessarily know how to find jobs like ours.

Below is a quick announcement for the listserv. I will be on campus talking to students in person about these positions and setting up information sessions/interviews on Wednesday, March 24th and Thursday, March 25th. On those days, if there are classes you teach in the morning, I would love to make a very brief announcement, as well. Let me know if this is a possibility!



Kind Regards,



Katrina Rosen

Canvass Director – FFPI
