If you're interested in working for Florida PIRG full-time, we may have a position for you. We're looking for talented go-getters who are ready to make a difference on some of the most pressing issues of the day.

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 Florida 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.

Recent Graduates: 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 importantly, you get real results, whether at the local, state or federal level. And your experience is complemented by intensive training and the direction and advice of a senior mentor.

As a PIRG Fellow, you'll build expertise on health care, campaign reform or another social problem. You will conduct research, make the case for solutions, act as a spokesperson to the media, build diverse coalitions, write grants, and develop the kind of politically powerful support you need to win. Your day-to-day work might include meeting with a state or national decision-maker, researching or writing a report, conducting a news conference, or directing a citizen outreach campaign. Upon successful completion of the two-year program, you'll be eligible for a leadership role within the organization. More.

At least 3 years of experience: On the local, state and federal levels, advocates achieve concrete victories on their issues by employing the time tested techniques of investigative research, media exposés, grassroots organizing, advocacy and litigation. More.
