Hello!
My name is Sarah and I'm the Campus Organizer with MaryPIRG Students. MaryPIRG is a student-funded, student-directed public interest advocacy organization. This spring, we are running campaigns to fight climate change, protect public health, end hunger, promote civic engagement, make textbooks affordable, and more!
We are currently hiring interns and looking for students to join us as volunteers on all of our projects! You can Click HERE to sign up to volunteer and you can Click HERE to fill out our internship application.
Our hands on internship program is designed for students who are excited to create change on issues like climate change, public health, food insecurity, college affordability, and more. We pair classroom training with real life action to help students be successful advocates in their own right. Interns will learn how to recruit and build a team, plan events, hit goals, and raise money.
