Every day, whether it’s in Washington, D.C., a state capitol, or a corporate boardroom, someone is making a decision that will affect all of us — it could be about our health, our safety, or our democracy.
Special interest groups spend billions of dollars to influence these decisions. Someone needs to speak for the public interest. As a CoPIRG Fellow, that’s what you’ll do. You'll fight for a cleaner, safer transportation system; to get big money out of politics; to protect consumers from predatory lending; to stop the overuse of antibiotics on factory farms; and to remove toxic chemicals from our products and environment.
You won’t just sit behind a desk. You’ll be out in the real world recruiting new groups to join a coalition, speaking in a church basement or town hall to win a new endorsement, organizing a news event, or doing whatever else it takes to get results.
This is a two-year program, designed to prepare future leaders with CoPIRG. We look for smarts, leadership experience, top-notch written and verbal skills, and a desire to learn. We value experience organizing, including building campus groups.
The target annual compensation for this position is $26,000 in the first year. CoPIRG offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
We’re hiring for positions in Denver. We accept applications on a rolling basis.
Positions start now and August 2018.
