Students still have the opportunity to register for a chance to take part in a spring internship the following year, NYPIRG would like to let them know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a three credit opportunity for students. NYPIRG is the largest student directed nonpartisan nonprofit in New York State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When joining NYPIRG the organization wants you to know that you build great leadership skills and develop amazing connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All majors are welcome to sign up there is no major requirement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Advocating for free SUNY, defending democracy, combating poverty, fighting for the environment, promoting public health, and protecting consumers are among the causes you will be working on when you join. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They want you to build student Power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNYPIRG students have been fighting for students since the 70’s. We’re nonpartisan, so we follow no specific political ideology – everything we do is determined by our student-led state-wide Board of Directors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve successfully prevented tuition hikes, register thousands of students to vote every year, provide informational student empowerment events, and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before joining NYPIRG it is important to be informed on what you will be doing for the semester, they state,\u00a0\u201cNYPIRG focuses on six main issue areas: democracy, higher education, public health, the environment, hunger and homelessness, and consumer protection. As an intern, you’ll take on one issue for the semester to focus on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you get the internship you will focus on one<\/strong> issue (provided in previous paragraph) for the semester. As a spring intern you will take advocacy trips to Albany, where you will fight back against tuition hikes and send messages to legislators about what students need. This will be done through peaceful rallies and legislation meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly NYPIRG says, \u201cNYPIRG students make things happen both on campus and in government – all by and for students.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Become a leader and get credit for it! All majors welcome to apply.
