NJPIRG Citizen Lobby is the citizen advocacy arm of the New Jersey Public Interest Research Group. This organization is the state's leading environmental and consumer watchdog group. NJPIRG is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that has been fighting for over 25 years to preserve the environment, protect consumers, and promote democracy. In New Jersey, they have passed the strongest clean water law in the country, passed legislation to reduce the amount of toxic pollution that enters the environment, and fought to lower ATM and big bank fees.
NJPIRG has prided itself of its dedication to working with young adults who have an interest in improving society and our quality of life. They not only get things done, but they also teach people the skills it takes to solve these problems. NJPIRG Citizen Lobby has a professional staff who works with college students through their internship program. The staff gives students hands-on experience working on a variety of issues. Students can earn course credit for work they do to improve our water ways, pass campaign finance reform, improve the air we breath, manage a non-profit or pass pro-consumer legislation.
NJPIRG is currently interviewing students who are interested in making a difference on issues they care about while learning the skills it takes to succeed. The NJPIRG internship program teaches students campaign planning, lobbying, media relations, non-profit management, grassroots organizing, internet organizing, and web design. Through your daily organizing, weekly meetings with program directors, and a bi-weekly intern class, students will get an excellent experience working with one of the premiere public organizations in the state.
