https://pirg.org/why-work-with-us/ About PIRG
PIRG is an advocate for consumers, advancing solutions to problems that affect our health, our safety and our well-being. Being a consumer advocate means being a champion for a marketplace that is not only honest and transparent, but also wastes less because it reduces, reuses and recycles more; prevents toxic threats to our health and safety; and considers the impact of new products and technologies on the next generation, not just the next quarterly earnings report. The true North Star of a successful marketplace should not be the quantity of “stuff” we consume. It should be the quality of our lives. Our Mission and Values PIRG is part of The Public Interest Network, which operates and supports organizations committed to a shared vision of a better world and a strategic approach to social change. Visit the PIRG core values page for more information about our network when you apply. Please note: PIRG is an equal opportunity employer. We will consider qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with applicable law. Seniority level
