Job opportunity for you residents!


*** Fall 2013 Job Opportunities Making Social Change ***

We’re looking for smart, hard-working students who work well in a team and are eager to work for change after graduation.

The Fund for the Public Interest helps some of the top progressive organizations in the country work on issues such as green energy, equal rights for GLBT Americans, and stopping big corporate money in our elections.  And we're hiring!

Specifically, we're hiring Citizen Outreach Directors to run our grassroots campaign offices across the country next fall -- working on behalf of groups like the Environment America, the Human Rights Campaign and US PIRG. It's a lot of responsibility, mainly focused on hiring, training and managing a staff that goes out into communities to build grassroots support for these organizations’ campaigns. We’re looking for students who might be up for this challenge and would be passionate about working on environmental and social justice campaigns.

We are looking for smart, motivated students who want to get their hands dirty and make a real impact on some of the most critical issues facing our society.

If you are interested in applying:
Visit our website at www.fundjobs.org, or
Contact Jon Riley directly at 312-559-4701 or jriley@fundstaff.org.
