Hi Prof. O'Neil,
I'm a field organizer for WashPIRG looking to work with some great University of Puget Sound students through our civic engagement internship program this fall.
Interns can make a difference on issues they care about - like making college more affordable, expanding public transportation, or ending taxpayer subsidies for unhealthy foods. Students can organize events around weatherizing local homes and community buildings or fundraising for local shelters.
Through our intern program, students will learn how to plan and run the campaign, recruit and train a team of volunteers, work with the media, and educate their campus about these issues.
We are now accepting applications. Students can apply at http://www.washpirgstudents.org/internships
Will you forward the message below to your classes or any other student leaders on campus who you think would be interested in our internship opportunities?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Marites Velasquez
