[Hamp-law] Fwd: Summer Jobs for Good Causes-Interviews at Hampshire This Week!

[Flavio Risech]

I'm a director for the Fund for the Public Interest, a national 
non-profit that runs campaigns on environmental and social justice 
issues for groups like the Sierra Club, Environment America and the 
Human Rights Campaign. Right now we're hiring students for summer jobs 
on our campaigns and we're coming to Hampshire to hold information 
sessions and interviews this week. I was hoping you could help spread 
the word to students on your list, I imagine some of them will be 
interested. There is a blurb below with all the information, can you 
send it out?

Thanks for your consideration!
Eileen

The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization 
that works to build support for progressive organizations across the 
country.  We run campaigns for the Sierra Club, the Human Rights 
Campaign, USPIRG, and Environment America.  This summer we will be in 
over 50 cities, working and lobbying to help win environmental and 
social justice campaigns.

Last summer our staff helped ban off-shore drilling to protect our 
coasts, repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, and increase food safety standards 
to make school lunches safer- all while building valuable leadership skills.

Currently, we have paid positions open on our campaign staff in each of 
our locations.  We require that interested candidates are hard workers 
and have excellent communication skills.

As a member of our staff, you will fundraise, build membership for our 
partner groups, and educate and activate citizens on pressing issues.  
You will also have the opportunity to organize press conferences and 
build coalitions with other non-profit organizations.  While on staff, 
you gain knowledge of pressing concerns our country is facing, learn how 
to effectively generate public support, and obtain a firm understanding 
of the political process.

We will hold information sessions and interviews at Hampshire April 5 
and 6 at 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm. April 5 sessions will be in the 
Hill/Urbina room on the 3rd floor of the library, and on April 6 
sessions will be in the Bradford Room on the 2nd floor of the library.
