SPRING 2021 INTERNSHIPS FOR AN 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY CAMPAIGN
In the months leading up to the 2020 election, hundreds of student volunteers with Florida PIRG Students reached out to their peers on college campuses across the state to register them to vote and turn them out on Election Day.

Interns will:
