Dear COMD students,

NYPIRG is looking for year-round interns. NYPIRG has an office on the City Tech campus, but the work will be a mix of in-person and remote work – within the office, at home, and at locations around and near campus. We have had COMD students work with them in the past and it has been a positive experience.

If you are not familiar with NYPIRG, see their website or their Instagram. They are a public advocacy group committed to advocating for student issues, environmental protection, voting rights, fixing the MTA, and many other issues.

According to NYPIRG, students will learn about grassroots organizing techniques and new digital tools used to support social movements holistically. Their education in effective communication begins with learning key public speaking and community outreach skills, forming narratives and messaging through graphic design, video production, web design, or other specialties based on their interests and interactions with the constituencies NYPIRG serves.

Responsibilities will include:

• Outreach work: Talking to students about the issues and getting them involved, including voter registration; working on public-facing writing such as letters to local newspapers and web copy
• Organizing work: Leading one of our campaigns on issues like Public Health and Mass Transit, including attending weekly Project Leader Zoom meetings and organizing events and/or presentations
• Design work: Creating social media graphics, posters, videos, websites, and other materials to inform students and promote events

Send your resumes and portfolio links to:
