A job where you can work on issues you care about, like stopping childhood obesity or protecting our parks and coasts, and earn a good paycheck at the same time–sounds pretty good right?

The experience you’ll get, learning how to engage the public and lead outreach teams, will sound pretty good on your resume, too.

But when CEOs of big oil companies and Wall Street firms catch wind of the work our staff did to stop new offshore oil drilling and rein in the abuses of big banks, they won’t be happy to hear we’re hiring even more activists for another big summer of social change.

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. Over the last 25 years we have helped train more than 1,000 progressive activists with the skills they needed to work as leaders in groups like Moveon.org, Greenpeace and Teach for America. Here in Arizona we’re working to end federal subsidies for junk food! Learn more about our campaign here.

Join the campaign

We need people like you–lots of people like you–to go out in communities across the country and fight to make real progress. Hourly wage: $9-$14 average per hour.
