The Fund for the Public Interest is seeking hard-working individuals with good communication skills and a passion for social change to fill citizen outreach and Field Manager positions across the country this summer.
If you are looking to make a difference working to protect the environment and public health, gain real-world work experience and skills you can use, make money, and work with great people, then this is the job for you.
Our Mission:
The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization that runs campaigns for America’s leading environmental and social change organizations, like Environment America. We launched the Fund in 1982 to help find ways to engage people on the most pressing problems of our day and turn that support into solutions. By having face-to-face one-on-one conversations we give millions of people the opportunity for their voices to be heard, through petitions, emails, small donations and meetings. That’s people power, and that’s what it takes to make change.
This summer we will be working with U.S. PIRG and Environment America to stop plastic pollution, tackle climate change, and keep pesticides out of our food supply. Apply HERE!
