As a OSPIRG Fellow, you gain hands-on experience in organizing, advocating and leading public interest campaigns in your first year on staff. More importantly, you get real results, whether at the local, state or federal level. And your experience is complemented by intensive training and the direction and advice of a senior mentor. More.

OSPIRG - Issue Advocate
Everyone wants to have an impact. Yet in too many jobs, there’s no need to bring your conscience to the office. At the state PIRGs, our advocates can put their ideals front and center. From protecting public health to safeguarding consumers, to limiting the influence of special interests in politics, OSPIRG advocates spend every day working to create exciting and rewarding political change on behalf of the public interest. More.

On the local, state and federal levels, advocates achieve concrete victories on their issues by employing the time tested techniques of investigative research, media exposes, grassroots organizing, advocacy and litigation.
