Skills to Learn
Public interest advocates employ various skills to present problems, solutions, educate and mobilize the public, win important reforms, and protect existing programs. As a MaryPIRG intern, you would learn skills such as how to help organize a press conference to release a report or announce a coalition; submit letters to the editor and op-eds; organize a coalition of citizen groups and medical professionals concerned about public health; generate citizen letters, signatures, or phone calls in support of an environmental bill; and help organize a meeting to lobby a member of Congress or the General Assembly.
