Dear Patrick,
I'm a director for the Fund for the Public Interest, a national non-profit that runs campaigns on environmental and social justice issues for groups like Environment America, U.S. PIRG and the Human Rights Campaign. Right now we're hiring students for summer jobs on our campaigns. We are holding information sessions and interviews at Puget Sound University on April 3rd and 4th and I was hoping you could help spread the word to students in your Comparative Politics class. I imagine some of them will be interested. There is a blurb below with all the information, can you send it out?
We would also love to come make a special announcement to your Comparative Politics class.
Thanks for your consideration!
Russell
The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization that works to build support for progressive organizations across the country. We run campaigns for the Human Rights Campaign, USPIRG, and Environment America. This summer we will be in over 50 cities, working and lobbying to help win environmental and social justice campaigns.
Last summer our staff helped ban off-shore drilling to protect our coasts, repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and increase food safety standards to make school lunches safer- all while building valuable leadership skills.
Currently, we have paid positions open on our campaign staff in each of our locations. We require that interested candidates are hard workers and have excellent communication skills.
As a member of our staff, you will fundraise, build membership for our partner groups, and educate and activate citizens on pressing issues. You will also have the opportunity to organize press conferences and build coalitions with other non-profit organizations. While on staff, you gain knowledge of pressing concerns our country is facing, learn how to effectively generate public support, and obtain a firm understanding of the political process.
We will be holding information sessions and interviews at Puget Sound University April 3rd and 4th at 10:30 and 4:30 on Tuesday, April 3 and at 10:00 and 4:00 on Wednesday, April 4 in the WSC room 101. Please email us to schedule a time.
