Summer Jobs for Good Causes

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 the Human Rights Campaign, USPIRG, and Environment
America. This summer we will be in over 50 cities, working and lobbying to
help win environmental and social justice campaigns.

In recent summers our staff helped ban off-shore drilling to protect our
coasts, repeal Don?t Ask Don?t Tell, and increase food safety standards to
make school lunches safer- all while building valuable leadership skills.

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 fundraise, 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.

We will be holding information sessions and interviews at the University of
Washington from April 3-5 at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm each day. All sessions
will be held in Condon Hall 223D. To apply, please visit
www.jobsforgoodcauses.org or call 800-75-EARTH (753-2784). Or fill out this
form to receive more information.
