Civic Influencers

Civic Influencers is a nonpartisan, nonprofit that activates young people’s civic power through organizing, learning, and advocacy. The organization uses real-time data to draw attention to democracy power outages on campuses and in communities and trains young people to fight for youth voting rights and the policies they care about. Civic Influencers designs youth-centered, data-driven civic action projects that remove barriers to voting and push decision-makers to give young people a seat at the table.

Compensation: $700 a semester.

How to apply: Please complete the online Civic Influencers application, and a State Organizer will contact you ASAP to learn more about your experiences and passions.

Public Interest Research Group (PIRG)

The Student PIRG’s New Voters Project is the country’s oldest and largest, field-based youth voter engagement campaign. Since 1984, the student-led program has helped register more than 2 million young people to vote, and made more than 3 million personalized GOTV contacts, while training thousands of students in the citizenship, leadership, and campaigning skills necessary to run mobilization and turnout campaigns to encourage their peers to participate in our democracy.

This fellowship provides students the skills, training, resources, and guidance to run effective non-partisan campaigns to help mobilize their peers to vote in this midterm election.

Compensation: Students will gain valuable experience while earning a stipend of $3,000 for the fall semester.

How to apply: Please complete the online PIRG application.
