Summer Jobs that matter! Interview on Your Campus! Fund for Public Interest will be on campus and conduct Information Sessions and Interviews
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 USPIRG, Environment America, the Human Rights Campaign, and Environmental Action. 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. Our positions are open to all classes. The pay rate is $9-15/hr (varies by location). We will have an information table set up and hold information sessions, and interviews at Barnard on 2/20 and 2/21.
