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 fund-raise, 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 University of
Puget Sound on April 2nd and 3rd at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm each day. The
information sessions will be located at Call 1-800-75EARTH to find out
exactly where we'll be on campus!. If there
are any additional questions please visit www.JobsThatMatter.org or call 1-800-75-EARTH (753-2784).
