NJPIRG Campus Organizer: Rutgers University – New Brunswick



Think America can do better?  NJPIRG does.



NJPIRG campus organizers tap into the idealism and energy of
students, helping student volunteers and activists turn their
concerns into effective action. We have a 40-year history of
advocating for students, the environment and consumers by standing
up for the public in the face of powerful interests and winning real
results.



Last year, NJPIRG campus organizers, student volunteers and interns
worked on campaigns to protect student financial aid, fight hunger
and homelessness in their local communities, protect consumers from
toxic chemicals and more. A top priority was our campaign to
increase energy efficiency in New Jersey – students and staff
educated over 10,000 K-12 kids, conducted hundreds of energy audits,
and provided direct service to their communities by weatherizing
dorms, homeless shelters, and schools.



As a campus organizer at Rutgers University – New Brunswick
you  would recruit and train volunteers, teach an internship
class on activism skills, build relationships with faculty and
administrators, hold events with decision-maker, and generate the
grassroots support it takes to win campaigns. Campus
organizers also learn to canvass door-to-door during the academic
year and run our highly effective citizen outreach campaigns in the
summer months.



This spring students at RU – New Brunswick are excited to be part of
our statewide clean air campaign working to ensure that there are
strong regulations around new coal plants nationwide. As a

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are
ready to work hard and commit themselves to getting results.
