NJPIRG Student Chapters

NJPIRG Student Chapters NJPIRG Students is the largest student-run non-profit in the state. Want change? We train student act Together we can make change happen. It's a good thing, too.

Our generation has some big challenges to tackle - from global warming to the rising cost of college, from homelessness to our collapsing health care system. It won't be easy, but by acting together we can find solutions. That's where we come in. Here at NJPIRG Student Chapters, we organize college students to solve some of the world's most pressing public interest problems. NJPIRG Student Chapter

s is an independent statewide student organization that works on issues like environmental protection, consumer protection, and hunger and homelessness. For nearly 35 years students with their campus PIRG chapters have been making a real difference in people's lives and winning concrete changes to build a better world. We give students the skills and opportunity to practice effective citizenship. Both here on campus and out in the world, we mobilize students to investigate big social problems, come up with practical solutions, convince the media and public to pay attention, and get decision-makers to act.

Students have struggled to pay the high cost of textbooks and other course materials for decades. Last fall, we collected 4000 surveys from students at 110 colleges and universities nationwide, and found that although the textbook market has radically changed in the digital age, those financial struggles remain the same.
