student PIRG groups

Student Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG) are nonprofit organizations based on college campuses that focus on social, environmental, and public interest issues. They are run by students who engage in research, advocacy, and activism to tackle problems like environmental protection, consumer rights, and education reform. Student PIRGs often collaborate with local communities, policymakers, and other organizations to promote change and raise awareness. Through projects and campaigns, these groups empower students to make a positive impact on societal issues while gaining valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, and public engagement.
