Job Description
We dispose of 10,000 cell phones in our state each day. We could eliminate a lot of this waste if companies made it easier to fix the stuff we already own. Instead, companies restrict access to parts and tools, forcing consumers to replace rather than repair our electronics and appliances.
New Jersey PIRG is working to pass a bill that would keep our devices in use and out of landfills by giving us what we need to fix our stuff.
We are hiring canvassers and field managers in our New Brunswick office to educate the public about the issue, raise critical funds, and generate the visibility necessary to influence decision-makers to take action on these problems.
As a canvasser this summer you will:
Educate and engage citizens on a campaign to make real change on pressing environmental and public interest issues
Develop essential communication and political advocacy skills
Build membership and raise money for nonprofit groups in your community
Earn leadership opportunities, supervising and managing staff in the field
Gain the experience and connections needed to launch your career in nonprofit and policy work

We are seeking hard-working individuals with good communication skills and a passion for social change. We are hiring full-time staff only.
