Campus Organizer

Campus organizers recruit students, faculty and community members to investigate problems and build support for solutions. Campus organizers, and the volunteers they train, research issues, build coalitions, work with the media, educate the public, and generate citizen support on issues ranging from poverty to environmental protection. Through their actions, they win concrete reforms, acquire the skills necessary to be a leader in the public interest movement, and leave a legacy of skilled, trained leaders capable of tackling society's most pressing problems.
