Advocate
Georgia PIRG is seeking a Public Interest Advocate. The mission of our program is to stand up to powerful special interests on issues to protect public health, stop identity theft, expand public transportation options, fight political corruption, provide safe and affordable prescription drugs, and strengthen voting rights. Consider this—consumers comprise the largest interest group in the economy, affecting and affected by almost every public and private economic decision. If consumers are offered inferior products, if prices are exorbitant, if drugs are unsafe or worthless, or if consumers are unable to make informed choices, then their dollars are wasted, and their health and safety may be threatened.

Fellowship
If you want a job where you can work to solve problems each day, consider a job with U.S. PIRG. U.S. PIRG is the federation of state PIRGs, a national network of nonprofit organizations that advocate on behalf of the public interest. Starting with thorough research, we tackle problems that need to be solved.
The goal of a PIRG Fellowship is to help develop leaders for the
public interest movement. You might see yourself becoming a field
organizer, advocate—or even director of a public interest group
someday. As a PIRG Fellow, you gain hands-on experience in organizing,
advocating and leading public interest campaigns in your first year on
staff. More

New Voters Project Lead Organizer
The 2008 presidential election provides a major opportunity to boost youth participation in the political process. The youth generation, or “Generation Y”, born between 1977 and 1994 is large and growing. By 2015, Generation Y voters ages, 18-38, will be one-third of the U.S. electorate. As such, they have the potential to make big impacts on key issues such as global warming, college affordability, health care and financial security.
The Student PIRGs’ New Voters Project is a nonpartisan effort to
register young people and to get them to the polls on Election Day.
Since launching the New Voters Project in 2003, we have done this work both to
boost youth participation in democracy and to get politicians to pay
attention to young people and the issues that they care about. More.
