We've got work to do.

America faces some big challenges. Every day, environmental, social justice and consumer problems become more urgent: Even though an overwhelming majority of Americans support protecting our environment, our national parks continue to be threatened by development and budget cuts. Most Americans want consumer protections, but instead we are giving billions of dollars in subsidies to Big Agriculture to promote fatty and dangerous foods. And the majority of Americans want measures that ensure social justice for everyone; but in most states, it is still legal to fire someone just for being gay. Obviously, many of our decision-makers are listening to the deep-pocketed industry lobbyists and have lost touch with the average American.

America's leading advocacy groups are gearing up to meet these challenges. They know to break the gridlock and make real progress, they'll need a surge of citizen support and grassroots action. That's where we come in.

At the Fund for the Public Interest, we've been organizing campaigns to protect the environment, stand up for the public interest, and defend human rights for more than 25 years. We've helped protect our pristine wilderness areas with Environment America. And working with the Human Rights Campaign, we helped organize the grassroots opposition needed to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell.

Work with us and gain valuable skills mobilizing and building citizen support, activating the media around critical issues and running petition drives for important campaigns. Work on important issues, build your resume and earn money while you're at it. Hourly wage: $9-$15 average per hour.
